Triple Chocolate Cheesecake Cookies

Difficulty: Easy-Medium

Makes about 24

I thought it was about time I baked some cookies since I hadn’t made some in a while. I didn’t want to make your run of the mill choc-chip or Anzac so I thought “what is the dopest cookie flavour I can think of?” and then I said to myself “triple chocolate cheesecake you idiot!” so then I listened to myself and made that very flavour.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon egg replacer
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup vegan margarine (I use Nuttelex)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
• 1/2 cup caster sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup cocoa
• 1 1/2 cups plain flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/3 cup vegan white chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup vegan dark chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup vegan cream cheese

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. In a large bowl mix the margarine, vanilla essence and sugars until smooth.
3. Sift in the cocoa, flour and baking powder and form into a dough.
4. Fold in the choc chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Using a tablespoon, measure out the dough. Pop about 1/2 a teaspoon of cream cheese in each dollop and roll into a ball.
6. Place the balls evenly spaced on the trays and press down gently to form chunky discs.
7. Bake for 20-35 minutes.
8. Allow to cool on the tray before transferring to a cooling tray.
