Vegan Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF

Make the vegan caramel if you haven't already.

Cream the sugar and butter with an electric whisk until it is creamy and soft.

Mix together the arrowroot & water in a small bowl. Add the vanilla bean paste and stir altogether.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Then sift in the cocoa powder and mix together.

Chop the chocolate into small chunks and stir into the main flour mixture.

Next, take two large baking trays and line them with baking paper.

Divide the mixture evenly into 16 balls

Place them onto your baking parchment lined tray. Make sure you spread these enough as they will spread during the baking process.

Bake these in the oven for 10-12 minutes. They may look soft but they will harden when they're out and left to cool

After 5 minutes of the cookies cooling, add a teaspoon of the vegan caramel to the top of each cookie. You can add some sea salt flakes for decoration if you wish.
