About

Who doesn’t love cookies? Especially a huge, chocolate-stuffed one? This cookie also only takes minutes to make. It has great wow factor and will make anyone instantly happy. You can play around with optional fillings and toppings according to taste.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons aquafaba (liquid from tinned chickpeas)
160 g (5½ oz)

Vegan

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C 350°F/gas 4). Line a baking tray (pan) with baking parchment.

Whisk the aquafaba in a bowl until it is white, fluffy and forming soft peaks. This will take at least 10 minutes. I find an electric whisk makes this much easier. Set aside.
