If you can’t find self-raising flour, you can use plain (all-purpose) flour and 1 tsp of baking powder. However the texture will be different and they might not be as flat.
These cookies will keep well for 3 days in an air-tight container.
Oven temperatures can vary and the baking time for these cookies is vital to get the right texture. The trick is to take them out just as the edges begin to turn a golden brown. Don’t worry if they’re very soft because they’ll harden as they cool.
Light brown sugar has the perfect balance of sweetness and caramel-flavour. If you can’t find it, you can try using a mix of a white and a brown sugar.
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F fan-assisted and line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
Cream the sugar and margarine together in a mixing bowl. Then stir in the self-raising flour until combined.
Roughly chop the dark chocolate into small chunks and stir it into the cookie dough (save a dozen or so pieces to push into the cookies).
Divide the dough into six pieces, then roll each piece into a ball and place them on the baking trays with a good distance between them. Don't worry if the cookie dough is really soft. Push the remaining chocolate chunks into the top of the balls, then bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies begin to turn golden brown around the edges.
Leave the cookies for 15 minutes or so to harden slightly, then transfer to a cooling rack. We love to eat these while they're still warm but they'll keep well for 3 days in an air-tight container.
Just made these and they turned out way better then expected! I will say that I made 8 instead of 6 and they were still huge so next time I’d maybe make 10 smaller ones. I also only cooked them for 10 minutes on 180 fan but that’s probably because mine were smaller. Great recipe, will definitely be making these again!
This recipe is absolutely amazing! I’ve never had a cookie like it and with such simple ingredients aswell. I wish this recipe was around when I first started my baking journey but I’m so glad you created and shared it. I remember making these cookies the night you released the recipe and I’ve genuinely never made anyone else’s recipe since. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Of all the vegan cookies I’ve made, these are the best. So quick and easy to make. Sometimes I add chopped nuts, or substitute some flour with cocoa powder if I’m out of chocolate. Always delicious.
I usually make 9 or 10 so they are a little bit smaller, but still plenty big enough.

Thanks Lily!
Hello, can I add cocoa powder , if so how much do I reduce the flour? These are amazing, just my husband wants full on chocolate cookies.
Hi guys! Do you weigh all your ingredients? Just want to know so I could be more precise. Love from Canada
Can you convert this to cups please for the US?
