Cranberry marshmallow cookies (that just happen to be vegan)

Method

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C/350°F/Gas Mark 3 and line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla essence and oil, ensuring the mixture is even and free of lumps.

Step 3

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and baking powder into the bowl. Use a wooden spoon to stir into the sugar blend until sandy crumbs have formed.

Step 4

Add in the marshmallows and cranberries and mix again until evenly dispersed.

Step 5

Follow by pouring in the milk of your choice and stir into a dough.

Step 6

Use an ice-cream scoop or tablespoon to drop balls of cookie dough onto your prepared baking sheet (leaving 3-4cm between each) and flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden and the tops look set.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and set aside for 2-3 minutes. Use a palette knife to move cookies from the baking sheet and place on a wire rack to cool until firm all over.
