Simple and delicious vegan sugar cookies decorated with rich Dark 85% Chocolate and icing sugar mummy faces. Add on some edible sugar googly eyes for a really Halloween treat. They are naturally vegan and great to make with children, too.
Ingredients
- 100g vegan butter or margarine
- 100g Fairtrade caster or light brown sugar (or half and half)
- 1 tsp Fairtrade vanilla essence
- 2 tbsp plant-based milk
- 250g plain flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- A pinch of salt
- 70g Fairtrade Divine Dark 85% Chocolate
- 70g icing sugar
- 2-3 tsp water
- Sugar edible eyes or sprinkles
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 160Fan/180*C and line a cookie sheet with baking paper.
2. Cream together the butter/margarine and sugar until fluffy and creamy. Stir in the vanilla essence and plant-based milk.
3. Add in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the salt and stir to form a ball of dough. Bring it together with your hands.
4. Transfer the dough to a surface covered in parchment paper and roll out to about 1cm thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes and transfer to the cookie sheet (use a pallet knife to loosen them).
5. Bake for 10 minutes until golden and allow to cool fully on the tray on a wire rack.
6. Melt the chocolate and dip each cookie in to coat the cookies evenly. Allow to cool again before decorating with icing sugar and the sugar edible eyes.
