These cookies are a vegan treat, and can easily be made gluten-free. The cookies are so yummy, that they lasted about 5 minutes in the Extraveganza offices.
Total preparation time: 10 minutes (even if you have never attempted baking before!) Cooking time: 10 to 15 minutes Ingredients 200g dairy free butter / soya margarine 150g caster sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla essence 275g plain flour (or gluten free plain flour) 3 sachets/150ml creamed coconut 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt |
Step 1
Before you get covered in dough and manage to get flour in places you never thought possible - grease a baking tray and preheat the oven to 180C.
TIP: Greaseproof paper reduces the mess and possibility that you will be testing your chiseling skills later on)

Step 2 Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl - usually about 2 minutes until creamy. Step 3 Add remaining ingredients and stir until combined - until all flour is mixed in - do not over mix! TIP: Mixture should be greasy but not too sticky (You will know this is the case if you are covered in dough and wrestling it off a spoon) - add an extra tablespoon of flour if needed. Step 4 Roll teaspoon amounts of dough in balls - place on greased baking tray. Make sure to leave space between each biscuit as they tend to spread. Press down gently with a fork. (Also about the time a sneaky human manages to get their hands on the bowl to lick!) Step 5 Bake at 180C for between 10-15 minutes. Take them out as they start to go golden around the edges. |

Step 6
Leave to cool for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack
(Note: this step is the most difficult for any resident vegan. Cookies are normally inhaled before the cooling stage!)
