Jumbo Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Difficulty: Easy-Medium

Makes 18

Let’s face it, sometimes one teensy cookie isn’t enough. That’s why I made these chocolate chunk babies jumbo in size. I took these along to an afternoon tea with friends and they were a hit among the group.

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons egg replacer
• 4 tablespoons water
• 1 cup vegan margarine, I use Nuttelex
• 2/3 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/3 cups caster sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla essence
• 3 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 block Sweet William white chocolate
• 1/2 block Whittaker’s dark chocolate

Method

1. Preheat oven to 150°C and line two baking trays with baking paper.
2. Combine egg replacer and water in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl.
4. Next, beat in vanilla and egg replacer mixture.
5. Sift in flour, salt and baking soda, combine well.
6. While still in packets, bash the chocolate with a rolling pin to break them into chunks.
7. Fold through the cookie mixture until well combined.
8. Using a 1/4 cup measure, roll the dough into balls and place on the baking tray. Nine will fit on each tray, spaced evenly apart.
9. Bake for about 20 minutes or until the cookies have flattened and golden in colour.
10. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the tray before transferring to racks to cool completely.
