- Egg replacer — We’re using ground flaxseed combined with cornstarch to bind these cookies together.
- Vinegar — Apple cider vinegar interacts with the baking soda to create fluffy cookies.
- Flavoring — We’ll use a combination of vanilla and sea salt to add flavor.
- Flour — I used all-purpose flour.
- Leavener — We’ll use a combination of baking soda and baking powder
- Chocolate Chips — Use your favorite dairy free chocolate chips

Expert Tips
Use these expert tips to make these chocolate chip sprinkle cookies perfect every time!
- This recipe calls for vegan butter. I used Earth Balance buttery sticks.
- Leave the vegan butter out for about 30 minutes prior to making these vegan cookies, to make the butter softened.
- Roll the cookie dough balls in more sprinkles to give each cookie a dramatic look!
- Do not overbake these cookies — we’re going for a gooey chocolate chip cookie with this recipe.
- Feel free to make a batch of this cookie dough and only bake one or two panfuls and freeze the rest of the dough balls for later. That way freshly baked chocolate chip sprinkle cookies are only a freezer door away!

Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ½ cup plant-based milk soy, almond, etc
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cup all-purpose flour plus one tablespoon
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 cup sprinkles (plus extras)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat butter and peanut butter in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium high speed until light and fluffy, about one minute. Add sugars and beat again until fluffy. Add the ground flax seeds, corn starch, non-dairy milk, vinegar, vanilla, and almond extract. Mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine. Pour the flour mixture over the margarine mixture and use your mixer to combine.
- Add the chocolate chips and sprinkles and mix some more until the sprinkles are incorporated throughout the dough.
- Use a cookie dough dispenser to drop cookie dough roughly 1½ inches apart on your cookie sheet. Pour some additional sprinkles on a plate and grabbing one ball of cookie dough at a time, dab the top of the cookie dough ball into the sprinkles. Place it on the pan and gently press the top of the cookie to make sure the sprinkles stick. Repeat with each cookie.
- Place the prepared pan of cookie dough balls in the oven and bake for 8-9 minutes. These cookies are best when they’re slightly undercooked so be careful not to over bake. You’ll be rewarded with a dense, rich, moist cookie!
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for up to 2 minutes on the pan before placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat until all the cookies are done. Store in an airtight container.

Hi! Do you think there’s anything I can substitute for peanut butter?
You could always just use one cup of margarine instead a half cup. Coconut oil could be another alternative. I haven’t tried either of these options, but if you’re open to experimenting it would be worth a try.
Yum! I’ll have to give those a try
I hope you do!
Are the non-dairy/dairy-free ingredients necessary (am I able to use dairy?), and if dairy ingredients are used do the measurements need to be adjusted?
Hi Hallie. You can use dairy-based products for the margarine and soy milk – just replace them 1:1 is fine.
You can find vegan sugar at Whole Foods. It’s called Turbinado sugar. For those who don’t know, regular, refined sugar is processed using filtering systems that utilize animal bones. That is why it is not technically considered vegan. Using refined sugar will not contribute to ingesting animal product or by-product.
Sugar is not vegan btw…
Thanks for your comment, Lindsay. I think everyone needs to make their own decisions about things like sugar.
the most beautiful photo of cookies I have ever seen 😀 *drool*
Ah, thanks so much!
the recipe says 4 tablespoons PB2. Where is it incorporated??
Thanks so much for catching that – the recipe has been updated. I also included that the PB2 is optional.
What is the 4 Tbs of PB2??
PB2 is powdered peanut butter. I liked adding a little bit of nutty flavor to these cookies, however, it’s optional.
These look so fun! Forgive my ignorance, but what is the 4 T of PB2?
PB2 is powdered peanut butter. I included it to add a little bit of extra nutty flavor to these cookies. If you don’t have any handy, don’t worry about it. Here’s a link to PB2 via Target so you can see what it looks like. I hope you enjoy the cookies!
Is it necessary to have the PB2? I dont have any but I have everything else and i want to make them now!
Go for it, Kari! I just adapted the recipe to note that that PB2 is optional. 😉
One more thing. If you make the cookies, I’d LOVE it if you’d share a photo of them with me on Instagram! Use @NamelyMarly so I’ll see it. Thanks!
