Equipment
- cookie scoop (size: 1 tablespoon) or spoon
Ingredients
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- A pinch salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 75 grams cane sugar
- 55 grams brown sugar
- 65 grams vegan butter spread
- 1 vegan egg substitute
- 100 grams macadamia nuts roughly chopped
- 75 grams vegan white chocolate chips
To make one vegan egg substitute
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Mix the flour with the baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a bowl.
- In another separate bowl, using an electric mixer beat together the vegan butter spread with both sugars until creamy.
- Next, prepare the vegan egg. To make one vegan egg substitute start by mixing the flour with the baking powder in a small bowl or glass. Now add the oil and water and whisk vigorously. It will start to bubble.
- Quickly add the vegan egg substitute to the creamed sugar, followed by the vanilla extract, then add the flour mixture and beat everything well.
- Add the white chocolate chips and chopped macadamia nuts to the batter, and gently fold in with a spatula to combine.
- Spoon the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 5 cm (2 inches) of space between each cookie
- Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) for approximately 10-12 minutes on the middle rack, or until the edges are lightly golden. If using two baking sheets, swap their positions halfway through baking to ensure even results.
Notes
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container or a resealable bag, in a cool, dry spot in your kitchen. Refresh them by sticking them in the hot oven for a couple of minutes.
Freezing: If you want to extend their shelf life, you can freeze the cookies too. First, make sure they are completely cooled. Then, place them in a freezer-safe container or bag, separating layers with parchment paper. Next time you need a sweet treat, simply thaw them at room temperature for a few minutes or pop them in the oven or microwave for a quick warm-up.
