It’s been some time since I posted a vegan recipe here. A very long time actually ;) Well, today’s cookies are completely vegan, egg-free, dairy-free and even free of white sugar. I know, it’s a lot of “free”, but the flavors are definitely there. These Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies are delicious!
Sometimes I really like to skip all the stuff I am normally baking with, and try something different. Most of the time it works pretty well. Once I tried to bake without flour – that did not work out at all, but I am still trying ;) When it comes to vegan recipes, I have a very small, but fine list of recipes on my blog. Mostly cupcakes but also some cookies and a nice carrot cake for example! I should try to get that list longer I guess…
These cookies today are more or less classic chocolate chip cookies with some additional walnuts for the extra crunch. It’s still not easy to get vegan chocolate chips in supermarkets here, but I found an online store that sells them. You can use “regular” vegan chocolate from your favorite store with organic and vegan groceries and chop it – that works also fine ;)
Besides that… not much to say about these cookies. They are delicious! Don’t bake them too long or they will end up dry and crumbly (like most cookies). The perfect cookie has crisp edges and a more or less soft center. With a glass of almond milk – awesome!
On your marks. Get ready. Bake!
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
1/2 cup (120g) margarine (vegan), at room temperature
1/2 cup (100g) muscovado sugar*
seeds of one vanilla bean
1 1/2 cups (200g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1.7 oz. (50g) walnuts, chopped
3/4 cup (100g) vegan chocolate chips
120g Margarine (vegan), Zimmertemperatur
100g Mascobado Zucker*
Mark einer Vanilleschote
200g Mehl (Type 405)
1/2 TL Natron
1/2 TL Salz
50g Walnüsse, gehackt
100g Schokoladendrops (vegan)
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Add the margarine and sugar to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the seeds of the vanilla bean and mix in. Mix the flour with baking soda and salt and add to the bowl. Mix until just combined – do not overmix! Fold in the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. The dough will be quite crumbly, but that is ok. Form 12 small balls and flatten them slightly. Place on the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to get a nice golden color and the centers are still a bit soft. Take out of the oven and let cool down a bit on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely.
2. Die Margarine und den Zucker in eine große Schüssel geben und hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Vanilleschote längs aufschneiden und das Mark herauskratzen und mit in die Schüssel geben und unterrühren. Das Mehl mit dem Natron und Salz vermischen und dann ebenfalls in die Schüssel geben und nur kurz verrühren. Walnüsse und Schokoladendrops zugeben und unterheben. Der Teig wird etwas bröselig sein, aber das ist ok. Mit den Händen 12 kleine Kugeln formen, ganz leicht plattdrücken und auf das vorbereitete Blech legen. Für 10-12 Minuten backen, bis die Ränder eine leicht goldene Farbe bekommen haben, die Mitte aber noch ein wenig weich ist. Herausnehmen, auf dem Blech etwas abkühlen lassen und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
