Vegan Chocolate Cookies

Total Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 2 cups of wholemeal flour
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup cocoa
• 6 teaspoons granulated coffee, ground down (reduce if you're not that big on coffee)
• 1 cup vegan butter (225 g) or 1 cup margarine
• 2 cups sugar, i used caster
• 1/2 cup soy yogurt
• 2 -3 teaspoons vanilla essence

Recipe

• 1 turn on your oven! temp: 190/375.
• 2 mix the dry ingredients (apart from sugar) together then set aside.
• 3 whisk (i do it by hand) the butter in a separate bowl to loosen it up a bit and then add the sugar and continue to whisk, you’re aiming for a kind of buttercream texture.
• 4 mix in half the soya yoghurt and once it is all combined add the second half and the vanilla.
• 5 gradually mix the flour into the wet ingredients, bear in mind that just dropping all the dry in is probably going to create a cocoa smoke cloud.
• 6 once it’s combined add any extras you want, chocolate chips, nuts w/e. it is a very rich tasting mixture though and i couldn’t bring myself to put more chocolate in mine.
• 7 put your mix onto some lined trays, i just drop the mix, it’s pretty wet still.
• 8 cook for 10-15 minutes, if you like them gooey and slightly undercooked, 10 minutes.
