Chocolate and Hazelnuts Vegan Cookies

– Happy Mother’s Day –

Hello everyone and Happy Mother’s Day! I found a good recipe for chocolate and hazelnuts cookies (yummy!) but I made it vegan with some variations.

It is really easy and you will find all the ingredients and preparation below.

Ingredients

• 300 g plain flour

• 80 g brown sugar

• 100 g hazelnuts

• 80 g extra virgin olive oil

• 40 g cocoa powder

• 100 g dark chocolate chips

• 140 ml soy milk

Preparation

1. Preheat oven at 170°C.
2. In a large bowl sift the flour and cocoa powder, add the sugar and hazelnuts (roughly chopped).
3. Then pour in olive oil and chocolate chips, stirring until you will obtain a granular mixture.
4. Continue to work the mixture while adding soy milk. You should obtain a fairly firm mass, with the consistency of a short pastry.
5. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 5 mm and obtain the biscuits with the help of different molds (I used small and big hearts, a flower and a round mold).
6. Place the biscuits, spacing them apart, on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake for about 15 minutes. Check the cooking with a toothpick.

Enjoy!
