VEGAN
***FEATURING OUR LOVE VEGAN BAR ***
Author: Jennifer Sargison
These are an all time favourite biscuit in our house. We make them most weeks and they never last longer than a couple of days. They are honestly soooo easy to make and once you’ve made them a few times you’ll be whipping them up every week too!
The chocolate filling gives the biscuit the WOW factor but if you don’t want to add a filling they also taste great on their own. We sometimes like to add a love vegan bar chopped up into small chunks to add a little texture, details on how to buy them are at the bottom of this page.
Ingredients
100 g vegan butter (I use flora soft spread)
270g plain flour
40g cacao powder
160g caster sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
75ml plant milk
Approximately 6-8 tsp vegan chocolate spread for the middle filling (use more if you wish to have a super/double filled biscuit)
Method
Preheat the oven to 180C and lined 2 large baking trays with baking paper
Cream the butter and sugar together
Sift in the flour, cacao and baking powder and stir it all in
Add the milk and mix again until a ball starts to form
Using your hands form a large ball and place it on a floured surface
Knead the ball of biscuit dough a little to soften out any cracks
Get rolling….
Roll on a floured surface and cut out rounds, you will need 2 round shapes to create one biscuit, so make sure you have an even number of rounds.
If you’d like a shape in the middle cut out a smaller shape on the inside of half of the round biscuit shapes (I like to bake the small heart shape which has been cut out as they look so cute once baked)
Keep re-rolling the dough and cutting out rounds until you have no biscuit dough left
Time to bake
Bake the biscuits for 7-10 minutes or until the are JUST starting to brown on top. They will also hardened as they cool
Once the biscuits have cool completly add 1/2 tsp of chocolate spread to each of the biscuits (that have not had a hole cut from the middle) and spread it out, until just before the spread gets to the edge go the biscuit
Pop the biscuit with the shape cut out on top of the chocolate filled biscuit base
Enjoy straight away or they’ll keep fresh for a few days in a air tight container.
