Yes, you read that correctly! You will have this comforting cookie in just 2 minutes. Like any cookie, it will harden as it cools, however, if you want a warm, soft-centre cookie eat it immediately. Or feel free to wait 5 minutes until the edges crisp a little. I think it’s incredible served with a scoop of non-dairy vanilla ice cream.

Tip

Many supermarkets sell dark chocolate chips that are accidentally vegan. If you don't have any to hand, chop up two squares of a dark chocolate bar to use in place of the chocolate chips.
