These are not only pretty but absolutely have to all be eaten in one go…well that’s what happens in our house anyway. 

If you only try one vegan cookie, make it this one – I guarantee it will change your view on vegan baking.

300g/10 ½ oz plain flour (all purpose)
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon bicarbonate soda
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons sprinkles
200g/7 oz sugar
100g/3 ½ oz vegetable oil
60ml/2 fl oz water
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Line two baking trays with baking parchment.

Mix together the flour, baking powder, bicarb, salt and sprinkles.

In a separate bowl mix the sugar with the oil, water, vinegar and vanilla.

Add the wet ingredients to the flour mix and stir until combined. 

Scoop out a tablespoon of the dough and make it into a ball shape, pop it on the tray and press it down a little with your hand to flatten it slightly.

Once you have all the cookies out on the trays, pop them in the fridge for an hour.  This helps them to keep their shape once they are baking.

Pre heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.

Pop the trays of cookies into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes.  They will puff up slightly and be very lightly coloured on the bottom. 

This recipe should make about 12 cookies.
