These are cookies at their simplest – crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside, made with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
(serves 6 – you need a food processor/blender)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
250g plant-based butter
225g caster sugar
300g plain flour
85g dark chocolate
Directions
- Preheat oven to 180°C | Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Put the butter, sugar, vanilla extract and golden syrup into the food processor and whizz to a cream.
- Pour in the flour, baking powder and salt and whizz everything together (you could also do all this in a big bowl with a wooden spoon)
- Turn off the food processor and remove the blade.
- Chop the dark chocolate into small chips and fold them through the mixture with a spatula until they’re evenly spread.
- Spoon walnut-sized pieces of the mixture on to the lined baking sheets, leaving 5cm between each ball of dough (you may need to cook them in batches)Â
- Squash the balls to flatten them slightly (but not flat like pancakes)
- Put the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 12–14 minutes, swapping them over halfway through so that they cook evenly
 - When they are ready the cookies should be golden around the edge, but paler in the middle
- Take the baking sheets out of the oven but leave the cookies on them for 5–10 minutes to firm up a little, then transfer carefully to wire racks to cool
