Notes
Top Tips
- Don’t skip the vanilla and salt: Both of these ingredients really add a depth of flavour to the cookies that you don’t want to miss out on.
- Bring to a full boil: To get the consistency of the cookies right, bring the sugar mixture to a full boil, not just the start of a simmer around the edges, but take it off the heat as soon as it does boil.
- Make ahead: This is a great make-ahead recipe as the cookies will keep in the fridge for a week or in the freezer for up to 2 months. It’s also an easy recipe to make a double batch of.
- Make it nut free: replace the almond milk with another dairy-free milk of your choice.
- Don’t need it vegan: if you don’t need them to be vegan, you can replace the coconut oil with butter, use regular dairy milk and/or swap the maple syrup for honey.
- Store in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezer friendly: these cookies freeze really well. Store in freezer bags or wrap well in heavy duty foil and freeze for 1 – 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
