Recipe of the Week

Secretly vegan chocolate chip cookies

If you know a vegan or vegetarian, or are one yourself, win over their (or your) taste buds with these chocolate chip cookies. They contain all the same tasty goodness as regular ones, but without the animal products. We won't tell if you try a bit of the dough and decide to make a batch for yourself. You could even get a little creative: Try using a heart-shaped cookie cutter to stick with the "love" theme.

Tip: Dark chocolate contains slightly less added sugar than milk chocolate. Consider swapping if you want to reduce the added sugar content.
