Mmm. Yum. This recipe for vegan cookies has been kicking around my house for years & years. Adapted from a butter-y & egg-y recipe, you can add anything to it. Chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, coconut, the list goes on!I used to make these with Nuttelex. However, due to concerns about Nuttelex's use of Palm Oil, and also the whole trans-fat thing (is it bad? is it not?) I just use oil.
Hooray! So these ones are for Chris's mums birthday, but of course I've snuck in a few already, just to be sure they taste okay!
Ingredients:3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil (I use olive oil, you can use whatever you like!)
1 & 2/3 cup self raising flour
3 tablespoons cornflour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tbspn apple juice / water / soy milk
2 tspn vanilla essence
1 & 1/4 cups choc chips / walnuts / coconut
Preheat oven to 180C.
Okay.
Mix the oil & sugar together.
Add in the flours, & baking powder, and mix until the oil is distributed.
Add in the juice/water/milk & vanilla, and mix until the cookie dough is kinda like a crumbly, pastey dough, like this:
Then, add in the chocolate chips, nuts, coconut (or whatever you choose) and mix through. By now it should be slightly resemblant of breadcrumbs?Roll it in to little balls, like this:
Then bake on greaseproof paper for about 15 mins, until the bottom of the cookies are lightly browned.
Note: the cookies will be super soft when you pull them out of the oven, but will crisp up as they cool.
Hooray! Yummy cookies!
This recipe makes around 30 small cookies. Yum.
Wow they sound so good! Will have to try them.
ReplyDeleteI found this macadamia nut spread. It says it has less than a gram of transfat, and it mainly made of Macadamia nut oil. I've made vegan anzacs before from olive oil and I didn't like it as much, but I find nutelex isn't tasty in baking also. I don't think Palm Oil is in this either, I just checked the ingredients. I also got it in a safeway, so it isn't hard to find. Anyway it is nice in baking!
