Description
These vegan double chocolate cookies are amazing in their own right, but are doubly good stuffed with homemade vegan caramel!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp ground flax seed
- 6 Tbsp water
- 1/2 cup vegan margarine (I used Earth Balance)
- 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 16 tsp-sized pieces vegan caramel
- Flaky sea salt or fleur de sel
- Cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Combine the flax seed and water in a small bowl to make a flax egg and set aside.
- Melt the margarine in the microwave in a large bowl. Add the brown sugar, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, and stir to combine. Add the flax egg and stir again. Add the cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder and stir until fully incorporated – this can take a while.
- Add the flour and chocolate chips at the same time, and stir until just combined.
- Scoop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a caramel into the top of each cookie. Use a spoon to scoop a little more dough on top of the caramel, then use your fingers to seal the dough around the caramel (greasing your fingers with a bit of spray oil helps with this).
- Sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top of each cookie.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Notes
If you’re not vegan, you can totally use regular caramels (like these) and butter.
