Ingredients -

125 grams of vegan butter

50 grams of vegan hazelnut spread (I use natures store)

175 grams of brown sugar

I tablespoon of coffee powder

300 grams of plain flour

1 teaspoon of baking powder

200 grams of vegan chocolate.(I blended 100grams of dark chocolate with 100 grams of galaxy vegan chocolate.

Instructions-

First start off by melting your butter in a large baking bowl before adding 50 grams of hazelnut spread.

Mix the two together till well combined and you now have a bowl of chocolatey goodness. From here pour in your 175 grams of sugar and mix that in till well combined.

Here in a separate bowl I prepare a small cup of coffee with 1 teaspoon of instant coffee powder with 100 ml of water. I only added around 1-2 tablespoons into the batter. You don’t need much of this. A little goes a long way! We want the coffee to bring out the chocolate without giving it a coffee flavour.

Once these are mixed together, sieve in 300 grams on plain flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder before folding it in.

In the mean time we can prepare our chocolate. You have creativity liberty at this moment, you can add any vegan chocolate you want. I personally went for 100g of dark 70% chocolate and 100g of galaxy vegan chocolate. Add your chunks of chocolate to the batter ( maybe sneaking a few tasting pieces ) and fold it in.

Now for best result I recommend letting your dough sit for a while in the fridge. I left mine for 40 minuets but you could even go over night if you wanted to.

Once those agonising 40 minuets is up, it’s time to bake! I used an ice cream scooper to get even(ish) cookies. With my heaping spoon this recipe made 11 cookies. But you could make more or less depending on your sizing.

Once placed on a foil baking tray, place these bad boys in a preheated oven, 180 degree fan or 200 normal. My oven tends to run on the hot side so I preheat mine for 150 degrees and baked them for 15 minutes.

The wait is not over yet! To save your mouth and your cookies from crumbling I recommend waiting at least 5 minuets once you get these babies out of the oven to let them settle while still keeping that ooey gooey centre.

Last but not least enjoy !
