These were a result of accidentally adding orange essence to cookie dough mixture. Didn't I already tell everyone that I'm terrible at baking? Well, that's irrelevant here because these turned out SO GOOD! I made a gazillion of them and all my meat-eating friends and family said they tasted as delicious as real cookies, if not better.
The only weird ingredient here is egg replacement powder. If you think about it, it's a lot less gross than chicken periods, but if you're not comfortable with egg replacement, I would recommend making flax eggs out of flax seeds and water. Google it. But trust me, egg replacement powder makes these cookies really decadent and delicious.
(Makes 20 Cookies)
Ingredients:
- 200g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 100g vegan chocolate chips (if you can get orange flavoured, even better!)
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 75g vegan butter (I use Vitalite)
- 2 1/2 tbsp rapeseed oil
- 75g caster sugar
- 90g brown sugar
- 1 tbsp orange essence
- 3 tsp egg replacement powder
- 3 tbsp lukewarm water
- Preheat the oven to 180c/gas mark 4 and line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and orange zest.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dairy free butter, rapeseed oil, caster sugar, brown sugar and orange essence. Set aside.
- In a small bowl or jug, whisk together the egg replacement powder and lukewarm water until light and frothy. Combine with the flour mixture, then add the butter mixture. Stir together until well combined.
- Form the dough into 20 small balls and place on the baking sheets. Allow a couple of inches in between each cookie to give them room if they want to spread out. Bake for 12-13 minutes. They should be golden and still soft. Flatten them out on a counter and leave them to cool and harden.
