Makes 6 huge biscuits

Ingredients;                    

360g plain flour

20g cornflour

110g caster or granulated sugar + a little extra for sprinkling on top

½ tsp vanilla powder

250g vegan butter

1x bag vegan giant chocolate buttons (approx. 120g)

You will also need; a little more flour to dust the worktop, a baking tray, a bowl and large circle cookie cutter

---

Method;

1.       Pre heat the oven to 170°c and place a sheet of baking paper on your baking tray

2.       Add all the flour, sugar, cornflour and vanilla powder into a bowl and roughly mix together

3.       Add the vegan butter and use your finger tips to turn the mixture into a ‘breadcrumb’ consistency

4.       Add the chocolate buttons and roughly mix through

5.       Use your hands to bring the dough together, be careful not to overwork the dough as this makes the shortbread have a more chewy texture

6.       Dust your worktop with flour and use your hands to gently flatten out your dough until it is 1.5-2cm thick

7.       Use the cookie cutter to cut out large circle shapes from the dough and place these on your baking tray.  Repeat until you have used all the dough

8.       Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top of each biscuit

9.       You can bake your shortbread straight away, although the biscuits may spread a little.  Or put your baking tray of shortbread in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes, this helps the cookies stay in the their shape

10.   Bake for 25-30 minutes until the biscuits are lightly golden and feel dry to touch

11.   Leave to cool then eat and enjoy!
