    These cookies are absolute superstars! I wanted to develop a recipe which tastes like butter-pecan ice cream but with a little sharp kick of dark chocolate. They’re successfully VERY soft and chewy with no cakey-ness in sight. The edges are lightly crisped in the most satisfying way.

    I like to bake a batch whenever we’ve got mates coming round because they go GREAT with a good cup of coffee. Whip some up now!

    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 225 g vegan butter I use “baking block”
    • 155 g pecans (roughly choppeplus 28 pecan halves
    • 200 g dark brown sugar
    • 100 g granulated sugar
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
    • 2 tablespoon ground flax seeds mixed with 5 tablespoon water and left for 10 minutes

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 170c and line 3 baking trays with baking parchment.
    • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, corn starch, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Set aside.

    • Using a cookie scoop, divide the dough into roughly 28 balls and arrange on the lined baking sheets with at least 2 inches between each ball. Top each ball of dough with a pecan half, pushed firmly into the centre (but don’t flatten the dougand add a tiny sprinkle of flaky salt to each ball of dough. Place in the oven and bake for 9 minutes.
    • Once the cookies have baked for 9 minutes, remove them from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack. The cookies should be very slightly browned on the edges but nice and soft and chewy (not cakein the centre.
    • While cooling, put a small saucepan on the hob over a low heat and add around an inch of boiling water. Place a bowl over the boiling water and add the chocolate to the bowl. Allow the chocolate to melt lightly before giving it a light stir to make sure there are no large lumps of unmelted chocolate. Turn off the heat.
    • Once the cookies are cool, drizzle with the melted chocolate. Allow the chocolate to cool and serve.
