Teddy Graham Chocolate Chip Cookies

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and full of character and charm, you’re going to love this Teddy Graham Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe. Teddy Grahams add bits of crunch throughout and they’re combined with lots of melty chocolate chips, too. This recipe is right on par with my very favorite vegan chocolate chip cookies.

I counted at least four flavor profiles for Teddy Grahams and only one of them is technically vegan. The Chocolate Chip Teddy Graham. Hurry. I like to keep a box (or two) around to eat as snacks, to serve as a sweet cracker with my Chickpea Cookie Dough dip, or even to make pie crusts from. And then one day I thought…why not add them to a cookie!

What Makes This Recipe Shine?

  • Using both vegan butter and peanut butter creates a buttery, rich cookie, full of flavor
  • Adding brown sugar makes these cookies extra tender and moist
  • Baking cookies for 9 to 10 minutes keep them soft and tender on the inside, while c creating a perfectly golden crispy crust.

Are Teddy Grahams Vegan?

Teddy Grahams are a branded graham cracker type cookie sold by the brand Nabisco. Some Teddy Graham flavors are made without dairy and eggs, making them vegan friendly! The flavors that are vegan friendly include chocolate, chocolate chip, and cinnamon.

What You Need

You can find the full printable recipe, including ingredient quantities, below. But first, here are some explanations of ingredients and steps to help you make this recipe perfect every time.

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe, including substitution ideas:

  • Vegan butter — Use Earth Balance buttery sticks, Miyoko’s, or use my recipe to learn how to make vegan butter.
  • Peanut butter — You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter. If you prefer not to use nut butter, substitute vegan butter.
  • Brown sugar — You can use light, dark, or learn how to make your own brown sugar at home.
  • Granulated sugar
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Flour — I use all-purpose flour, but you can also use a whole wheat pastry flour substitute.
  • Baking soda + baking powder — Make sure yours is fresh by testing a bit of baking soda with vinegar or a bit of baking powder with hot water. If it bubbles, your batch is good to use.
  • Salt
  • Dairy-free chocolate chips — I talk more about how to find the best brands on my Non-Dairy Chocolate Chip Guide
  • Chocolate Chip Teddy Grahams — See more about Accidentally Vegan Products. For this recipe, I used the Chocolatey Chip Teddy Grahams (paid link).

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

  • Add the chocolate chips and Teddy Gerahams, reserving some of each for topping each cookie. Be sure to cover the cookie dough when not in use to prevent it from drying out.

  • Bake cookies for 9 minutes (or up to 11 minutes, depending on your desired final cookie texture). If you prefer chewier cookies, remove them at 9 minutes. If you prefer crispier, cook for a few minutes longer. See note.
  • Once the cookies are done, allow them to cool for a minute or two on the cookie sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the entire batch of cookies or make a partial batch today and freeze the rest of the cookie dough to make more fresh cookies later.
  • Store in a sealed container for up to a week either on the counter or in the fridge. Or you can freeze these cookies for up to two months.

    I was wondering why after 2 days, the Teddy Grahams turned out soggy? How should I store these?

      Hi Kristen. I’ve never had that happen before when I make these cookies. I store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days, but they can last longer in the fridge or even frozen.

    These are too cute! My daughter has a dairy allergy and she loves Teddy Grahams. She’ll be so excited to come home from school to find these with a glass of soy milk for dunking. Thank you so much for posting this. Love the idea!
