Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 175 g vegan margarine
- 90 g granulated sugar
- 100 g all-purpose flour
- 25 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 g cornflakes
- 100 g dark chocolate (vegan)
- 50 g chopped walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the vegan margarine and granulated sugar using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Sift the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder into the creamed mixture and mix well to form a dough.
Gently fold in the cornflakes, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Take tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and shape them into balls, then flatten them slightly with your hand. Place them on the prepared baking tray, leaving a small space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits are set.
While the biscuits are baking, melt the dark chocolate. You can do this using a microwave in short bursts or over a double boiler on the stovetop.
Once the biscuits are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Spread about a teaspoon of melted chocolate on top of each biscuit and finish each with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts.
Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate the biscuits briefly to speed up the process. Serve and enjoy!
