Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

These delicious chocolate chip cookies are soft, sweet and what’s more; free from any dairy or eggs.

With vegan baking being on the rise (pun intended), I’ve been looking at making vegan versions of my favourite bakes. I’ve already made vegan meringues as I, myself can’t have meringues due to an egg allergy (I can have cookies though, go read the other recipe for more info on that if you’re interested) and vegan peanut butter cookie dough bites.

For these cookies, I’ve used Pure Free From Soya Spread. Not an ad or sponsored, but I really like their product. You can use any fair free block or spread for this recipe and it will turn out just as tasty!

I’m using the Sainsbury’s dark chocolate chips found in the baking aisle which are vegan (and cheaper than the specific ‘free from’ chocolate chips found in the free from aisle) and the Sainsbury’s basics dark chocolate for the squares on top, which is also ‘accidentally’ vegan. Sometimes it works out cheaper to have a look at the labels rather than heading straight for the specialist aisle.

   

1

Cream together the dairy free spread and light brown sugar.

2

Add in the self raising flour and baking powder and mix well.

 

3

Add in the vanilla extract and mix.

 

4

Finally, mix in the dairy free chocolate chips.

 

5

Spoon the dough onto some cling film and wrap well. Chill for at least 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll into balls.

6

Roll into balls and place onto a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. Before baking, I like to push in half a square of dairy free chocolate but this is optional.
