Each serving provides 203 kcal, 2g protein, 27g carbohydrate (of which 17g sugars), 10g fat (of which 3g saturates), 0.8g fibre and 0.3g salt.

Ingredients
200g/7oz dairy-free margarine
125g/4½oz soft light brown sugar
100g/3½oz caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g/9oz plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt
200g/7oz vegan dark chocolate chips
1 tbsp soya milk

Method
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and line two baking trays with baking paper.

Tip the dairy-free margarine, both sugars and the vanilla extract into a large bowl (or bowl of a free-standing mixer). Sift the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into the bowl and beat everything until thoroughly combined and almost smooth.

Add the chocolate chips and soya milk and mix again until the chocolate chips are thoroughly incorporated.

Use an ice cream scoop or two dessertspoons to drop neat mounds of dough onto the lined baking trays allowing plenty of space between each cookie as they will spread during cooking.

Bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the baking trays.
