Salted Coconut Caramel Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp flax meal
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup cold vegan butter
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/8 cup coconut caramel sauce + extra for drizzling (we use @naturescharm_au)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup + 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt + more for sprinkling

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C and line the baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Make a flax egg by mixing flax meal and water in a small bowl. Set aside to gel.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the vegan butter, white sugar and brown sugar. Then add in the coconut caramel sauce, vanilla, and flax egg, and stir well.
  4. Add flour, baking soda and sea salt to the mixing bowl with the caramel mixture. Gently stir dry ingredients on top together, before mixing all together to form the dough.
  5. Scoop dough onto a lined baking sheet using a 1/2 Tbsp scoop, making sure to leave room between cookies as they will spread as they flatten. Add a tiny drizzle of coconut caramel to each scoop of cookie dough.
  6. Bake for 9 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt while still hot, let cool, and enjoy
