These cookies are our absolute favourite! We bake a version of them every day in the bakery and sprinkle coarse sea salt on top to make them even more magnificent. Here’s an easy home version!

Ingredients
125gself-raising flour
80gvegan block butter
115gcaster sugar
35gbrown sugar
3tbspoat milk
1tbspground flax seeds
3tbspwater
100gchocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Set the oven to 170°C (fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Prepare the flax egg: Mix the ground flax seeds with 3 tbsp of water and set aside for about 5 minutes to thicken.
Melt the vegan butter: Melt the vegan block butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the self-raising flour, caster sugar, and brown sugar together.
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, oat milk, and the thickened flax egg.
Form the cookie dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent developing too much gluten. Stir in 80 g of the chocolate chips, reserving 20 g for decoration.
Chill the dough: Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes to firm it up slightly.
Shape the cookies: Remove the dough from the fridge or freezer. Scoop heaped tablespoons (about 45 g per cookie) and roll them into balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading (around 5 cookies per tray). Gently press each cookie down with the palm of your hand.
Decorate and bake: Press the remaining 20 g of chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies. Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes.
Create the perfect texture: After 6 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and drop it carefully onto the counter to create a 'bang' that will flatten the cookies slightly. Return to the oven and bake for a further 6-8 minutes, or until golden.
Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying (if you can resist!).
