To my Valentine:
Will you please split this giant, humungo cookie with me?
Sincerely yours,
Hungry for Chocolate
I mean, can Valentine’s Day really get any better than this?
Mark and I celebrated Valentine’s Day over the weekend, and it seriously was one of the best weekends ever. We had some freakishly warm weather on Saturday, so we went hiking, then we headed to a local juice shop and Trader Joe’s. After all of that, we had a delicious dinner, played a game, and sipped on some wine.
Then on Sunday, we had a lazy morning, followed by some maximum chill time and tacos. It was the best best best.
I’m really lucky to have Mark as my main squeeze. Without getting too mushy gushy, he’s one of the best things to have ever happened to me, so I am beyond happy to be able to spend yet another with this stud. ?
Especially when a cookie the size of my freakin’ head is involved.
This giant vegan chocolate chip cookie is…perfect. So dang perfect.
The recipe yields just one cookie. What you do with said cookie is up to you. Split it with a loved one or hoard it for yourself. I have done both and was ridiculously happy with my decision both times.
The cookie was adapted from these babies, which have been insanely popular on Pinterest lately. They’re one of my favorite recipes on the blog, and you all seem to love them too (yay!). So that’s why I figured a giant version would be just as delicious. Spoiler alert: it is.
Almond flour, coconut flour, nut butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and chocolate <– that’s all you’ll need to be taken to giant vegan cookie euphoria! I love that this recipe uses whole foods, but that the end result is crazy indulgent and decadent.
This cookie is slightly crispy around the edges, yet soft and chewy in the center. Plus, if you eat it while it’s still warm, that chocolate will be melty and gooey and Valentine’s Day-ready.
Hubba hubba.
I hope you & your Valentine enjoy this giant cookie! And if you’re ridin’ solo this year, there’s absolutely no shame in indulging in the whole thing yourself.
Valentine’s Day is all about showing love. And it doesn’t get more loving than baking a sweet treat for a loved one. Especially if that loved one is y-o-u.
Enjoy, friends! And have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! ❤️

| Prep: | Cook: | Yield: serves 1-2 people | Total: |
A soft and chewy cookie perfectly portioned for two! Naturally vegan and gluten free, and ready to eat in just about 20 minutes!
You'll Need...
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 Tbsp. coconut flour
- pinch salt
- 1/2 Tbsp. coconut oil, melted
- 1 Tbsp. peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp. maple syrup
- splash vanilla
- 1 - 1 and 1/2 oz. vegan dark chocolate, chopped*
- for topping: coarse salt (optional)
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk almond flour, baking soda, coconut flour, and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine coconut oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix to combine.
- Add your wet ingredients to your dry ingredients, and mix until almost combined. Add your chopped chocolate (reserve a few chunks for the top if desired), and mix until everything is well-combined.
- Shape dough into a flat circle directly on your baking sheet. Press your reserved chocolate on top for looks if desired.
- Bake for 12 minutes, then let your cookie rest for 8-10 minutes on the baking sheet before moving it to a cooling rack to cool completely. Pop the cookie into the fridge for faster cooling.
- Enjoy immediately, or keep it wrapped in the fridge overnight.
Additional Notes
*You can use a handful of chocolate chips instead of the chopped chocolate if you (and your bae) so desire.
This cookie looks SO GOOD. I may or may not be making this just for myself!! ;)
Yeah I’m with Sarah ^ who even needs a valentine? ;)
Making the cookie right now for tonight’s Valentine dinner. Wish me luck.
I made the cookie last night (for Valentines dinner) and I have to say it was wonderful. I used Trader Joes’ almond flour and Bob’s Red Mill Coconut Flour. Next time I might try substituting the coconut flour for a GF all purpose flour just to see what will happen since I don’t always have coconut flour on hand. Any thoughts?
This was so awesome to read, Tom! I’m so glad you guys liked it for Valentine’s Day! I’m thinking you could substitute the coconut flour with either GF all purpose or additional almond flour – now that you know what the consistency of the dough should be like, I’d say mix it up and use your best judgement :) Let me know if you try any substitutions!
**giant vegan chocolate chip cookie for ME. :) looks so good!

yum!! i have all the ingredients and will have to try this soon. chocolate chip cookies are my weakness! YUUUMMM
DO IT!! You won’t be sorry! :) Let me know how it goes!
OMG! I just made this but I subbed the almond flour for coconut flour and the coconut flour for oats because that’s what I had. It was delicious! It looks perfect and tastes even better. Thank you for all your hard work and amazing recipes! You are a true inspiration.
YESSSS! I’m so glad it turned out, even with the flour swaps! You are the best (and you totally just reminded me I owe you an email!).
Best. Cookie. Ever.
AGREED! :) So glad you liked it!
I have been making this cookie on a fairly regular basis for almost a year now. It turns out delicious every time. Thank you for this absolutely wonderful recipe.
So happy to hear that!
