Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet lined with greaseproof paper

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Butter - vegan
  • 3 tbsp Egg Replacer - whisked up with 6 tbsp water
  • ¾ cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2¼ cups White Flour
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips - vegan
  • 1 tsp Sea Salt - for sprinkling, optional
  • 1 cup Walnuts - chopped, optional

Instructions

  • Make the brown butter, leave to cool to warm
  • Preheat oven to 190c.
  • Add the cooled brown butter to a large bowl with the sugars. Beat, using an electric hand whisk, for a couple of minutes until smooth
  • Beat in the egg replacer and vanilla extract
  • Sift in the flour, baking powder and salt, then thoroughly mix
  • The mixture will be quite stiff now. Using a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips and nuts (if using).
  • Roll the dough into golf ball size portions and place onto prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten the cookie balls a little.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Remove from oven and leave to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, before removing to a cooling rack. Do not remove beforehand as they are very delicate!
