Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/gas mark 4 and line a couple of baking sheets with baking paper.

Step 2

Place the vegan butter, brown sugar and caster sugar in a bowl and whisk with an electric mixer until fluffy. Whisk in the vanilla bean paste and milk.

Step 3

Sift together the flour, baking powder and cornflour and add to the bowl. Mix in until well combined then add the chocolate and stir through.

Step 4

Divide the dough into eight portions and roll each into a ball. Place them well spaced apart on the baking trays and flatten very slightly.

Step 5

Bake for 10-12 minutes until pale golden, be careful not to overbake them, they will firm up as they cool.

Step 6

Leave to cool on the tray for 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling. Enjoy straight away or store in an airtight container once cool.
