Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 220 g plain flour
  • 180 g vegan butter margarine
  • 120 g sugar golden caster
  • 80 g soft brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp ground flax seed + 2tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 80 g chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

For the Ice Cream

  • 400 ml full fat coconut milk
  • 100 g coconut cream
  • 100 ml Califia Mocha flavoured Oat Drink
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions
 

For the cookies

  • In a small bowl mix the water and ground flax seed and set aside
  • Add the room temperature butter to a bowl along with the vanilla extract and two types of sugar and mix together using a silicone whisk or spatula until smooth
  • In a separate bowl mix the flour, salt, baking powder and soda together then slowly add to the bowl of butter, mixing it together as you add
  • Pour in the flax seed then and fold in then the chocolate chips. Pop the mix in the fridge for at least an hour (even better left overnight)
  • Once ready to bake, preheat the oven to 200°C
  • Using an ice cream scoop or just your hands, roll out equal sized balls and place on a baking tray (at least 4cm apart as they'll expand)
  • *top tip, double up the cookie size by playing another equal sized ball of cookie dough directly on top of each ball - this'll make them a little thicker*
  • Bake for 7 minutes, then take them out of oven and tap them on a surface (this helps give the crackle effect) then pop them back in for a further 2-3 minutes
  • Leave to set for 15 minutes then scoop in your favourite ice cream and enjoy!

For the Ice Cream

  • Add all of the ingredients together in a food processor until smooth then pour into a pan, bring to a low heat to combine the flavours before pouring into a small loaf tin
  • Leave to cool in the freezer for around 2 hours
  • Take out of the freezer for a few minutes to soften then scoop in-between each cookie
  • Enjoy
