These easy vegan hazelnut & raisin cookies are made with golden syrup, brown sugar and oats for that toffee-like flavour and chewy finish. They are lush!
Preheat the oven to 180c/160c fan/350f/gas mark 4 and line a baking tray.
Melt the vegan butter (or marg) in a jug or bowl in the microwave or in a small pot.
Let it cool for a few minutes, then add the vanilla extract and golden syrup.
In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) and salt.
Now add the demerara sugar, chopped hazelnuts and raisins and mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well, then scoop dollops of cookie dough (I used an ice cream scoop, but you could use a tablespoon) onto the lined baking tray, giving them plaenty of space. You may need to bake these in two batches .
Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden.
Leave them to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then move to a baking tray to continue cooling and to crisp up.
Enjoy!
Notes
You can make these cookies smaller and make a bigger batch but check them after 9-10 minutes.
For a thinner cookie, press the cookie dough down with the bottom of a glass.
These cookies can be kept in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
