Recipe Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
Show more
Aptly named “shortbread” for the typically short amount of time they last on plates… No? Is that not — that’s not why? Well, could’ve fooled us.
You will need
Serves 20
- 75 g roasted amonds
- 65 g desiccated coconut
- 180 g gluten free flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 90 g melted coconut oil
- 90 g maple syrup
- 75 g vegan chocolate
Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 140°C.
-
Step 2
Place roasted almonds, desiccated coconut, flour, salt and cinnamon into a food processor and blitz until a fine crumb forms.
-
Step 3
Transfer to a bowl and add melted coconut oil and maple syrup. Massage together with your hands and press a clump together to see if it compacts; if it doesn’t, add a touch more maple syrup or coconut oil.
-
Step 4
Roughly chop up vegan chocolate, sprinkle into cookie mix and combine.
-
Step 5
Scrape dough onto a sheet of baking paper and spread out a little with your fingers. Place another baking sheet on top and use a rolling pin to roll & compact, keeping it at about 1/2 cm thickness.
-
Step 6
Use a cookie cutter (around 4 cm diameter) to cut out cookies. Leave for a few minutes to allow the coconut oil to set. Carefully pick them up with a pallet knife and place on the baking tray.
-
Step 7
Bake for 15 minutes, then allow to cool at room temperature on tray.
-
Step 8
Enjoy immediately, and store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
