Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies - Makes 12-14

Ingredients

• 1 cup + 2 tbsp dairy-free butter
• 1 cup + 1 tbsp caster sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp golden syrup
• 1 cup + 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp plain flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• bournville chocolate 

Instructions 

1. Preheat the oven to 180 celcius and line a baking tray or two with parchment paper.
2. Put the dairy-free butter, sugar, vanilla extract and golden syrup into a food processor or bowl and mix. Pour in the flour, baking powder and salt and mix everything together.
3. Chop the bournville into small chips and fold them through the mixture using a wooden spoon.
4. Use an ice-cream scoop to scoop out decent size pieces of the mixture and place on the baking tray - you should leave about 5cm between each dough ball. Squash the balls to flatten them slightly but make sure they're not flat like pancakes! 
5. Put in the oven to bake for about 15 minutes. When they're done leave them on the baking tray for 5-10 minutes to firm up a little. They should be golden on the edges and paler in the middle.

You don't need to add chocolate; you can also add nuts, raisins or dried fruit!
