Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup of vegan butter
- 1/2 cups of brown sugar
- 1/2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons of baking soda
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla paste
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 egg or flax egg
- 1 cup of gluten-free flour
- 1/2 cup of chopped chocolate
- a full pack of vegan caramels from smart sweets (you can use regular dairy caramels as well)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a baking sheet with vegan butter
- In a bowl using a hand mixer or in a stand mixer cream the vegan butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy and lighter in color
- Add the egg or flax egg into the butter mixture and beat until fully combined
- Next add in the baking soda, vanilla extract and vanilla paste
- Add the gluten-free flour and cocoa powder in slowly until the dough is well combined
- Using a sharp knife, cut the caramels in half and using your hands roll them into a circle-ish shape, this doesn’t need to be perfect
- With two spoons, scoop about 2 tbsp worth of cookie dough into your hands and roll into a ball. With the cookie in your palm, press a thumb print into the cookie and place a caramel in the middle. Cover the caramel with the cookie dough and roll into a circle. Repeat with the rest of the cookies
- Place on the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with flakey salt and bake for 10-13 minutes depending on the size of your cookies – cookies should be cracked and the edges looking firm
- Eat and enjoy!
