They are simple but a classic. Not to mention they\u00a0can be whipped up\u00a0at a moment\u2019s notice and can be thoroughly enjoyed still warm from the oven! I can\u2019t imagine how many times I\u2019ve made them in my life so far, it\u2019s bound to be in the hundreds!<\/p>\n<p>These Dark Chocolate &amp; Sea Salt Vegan Cookies are a variation on the classic \u2013 mainly made up of ground almonds which have an incredible texture and the aroma is just heavenly. Dark chocolate feels a little more sophisticated to me than milk chocolate and pairs perfectly with a sprinkle of sea salt. It\u2019s a bonus that this recipe is vegan (and gluten-free!) which caters for any visitors you might have popping by.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19319 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1.Vegan-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Recipe.jpg\" alt=\"1.Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe\" width=\"750\" height=\"1124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1.Vegan-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Recipe.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1.Vegan-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Recipe-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1.Vegan-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Recipe-600x899.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><ul id=\"socialshare\"><!--<li class=\"fb\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/share?app_id=688330137993706&display=popup&href=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/dark-chocolate-sea-salt-vegan-cookies?img=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1.Vegan-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Recipe.jpg\"><\/a><\/li><li class=\"tw\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/dark-chocolate-sea-salt-vegan-cookies&text=Sophie's Bakes: Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt Vegan Cookies\"><\/a><li>--><li class=\"pt\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button?&url=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/dark-chocolate-sea-salt-vegan-cookies&media=https:\/\/www.devolkitchens.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/1.Vegan-Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-Recipe.jpg\"><\/a><li><\/ul><\/div><\/p>\n<p><i>Ingredients:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>200g ground almonds<\/p>\n<p>40g plain gluten-free flour<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp bicarbonate of soda<\/p>\n<p>100ml maple syrup<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n<p>1 tbsp coconut oil\/vegan margarine, softened<\/p>\n<p>100g good quality 70% dark chocolate<\/p>\n<p>A few pinches of sea salt<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><i>Method:<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Preheat the oven to 160C fan\/gas mark 3.

Repeat this with the rest of the mixture \u2013 it will roughly make 12 cookies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Place the baking tray into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, keeping an eye on them to achieve a perfect golden colour!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; As soon as they\u2019re out of the oven, sprinkle each cookie with a pinch of sea salt and allow to cool on the tray for 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; When the cookies have cooled for 10 minutes, remove from the tray and enjoy! Or allow them to cool completely and store in an airtight container for up to a week.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"sharer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-19320
