This super quick and easy recipe makes around 12 medium sized cookies. (by Rachel @myvegandiary87)

• 100g vegan margarine

• 100g peanut butter

• 125g soft light brown sugar

• 100g caster sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 250g plain flour

• 1/2 tsp baking powder 

• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

• pinch of salt

• 100g vegan chocolate chips (Callebaut 811 Chocolate Callets)

• Handful vegan “smarties“

• 2 tbsp soya milk

1. Preheat oven to 180/160c fan. Line two trays with baking paper.

2. Add margarine, peanut butter and both sugars to a large mixing bowl and mix. Sift in flour, baking powder, bicarb. and salt, and beat until combined. 

3. Add choc chips, soy milk and vanilla and mix until choc chips are fully incorporated throughout batter.

4. Drop 2 dessert-spoon sized balls of the mix onto the baking trays. Press smarties into the top of each ball. Allow plenty of space between each cookie, as the cookies will expand while cooking.

5. Bake for around 15 mins, or until golden. 

6. Remove from oven and leave to cool on a baking tray.

Note. I took my cookies out after 15 mins and they were still soft, they hardened a little as they cooled down but were still quite squidgy in the middle which I love. If you prefer a crunchier cookie, leave them in for longer. Rachel.
