Cooking Vegan? Always read labels to make sure each recipe ingredient is vegan. If unsure about any ingredient or product, check with the manufacturer.
Look for vegan chocolate chips in the health food section of your grocery store. They may also be labeled as dairy and gluten free.
If your coconut oil has solidified, simply place the jar in a bowl of hot water. We used refined coconut oil for its neutral flavor, but if you love the flavor of coconut in your cookies, use virgin coconut oil.
