25 Vegan Mother’s Day Desserts + Strawberry Cookies Recipe
Chewy vegan cookies with fresh strawberry pieces and white chocolate chips throughout.
Ingredients
Strawberry Cookies Recipe
- 1 Tablespoon Ground flax seeds
- 200 g Vegan margarine
- 150 g Caster sugar
- 100 g Soft light brown sugar
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract (or use strawberry extract for extra flavour)
- 320 g Self-raising flour
- 2-3 Fresh strawberries, cut into small pieces
- 30 g Vegan white chocolate chips (optional, I used Moo-Free)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C for fan oven) and line a cookie tray.
-
Make a flax 'egg' by mixing the flax seeds with 1 tablespoon of water and set aside for 5 minutes to thicken.
-
Mix together the margarine, caster sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl then stir in the flax egg and vanilla extract.
-
Add in all of the self-raising flour and mix together. Use your hands to press it into a ball of cookie dough.
-
Divide the dough into 12 balls and gently flatten them to 1/2-inch thick discs. Place them on the baking tray, leaving an inch or two of space between them to allow for spreading.
-
Gently press some strawberry pieces and white chocolate chips onto the tops of the cookies.
-
Bake for 12 minutes and let them cool completely before removing from the tray.
Recipe Notes
- Store in an airtight contain at room temperature for 24-48 hours.
