Kitchen Therapy X Toska Chocolates
Veganism has been overtaking my household in the past month – which, if you knew any of us, would shock you – you should see our cheese bills! I have yet to be converted, but as an open-minded soul (ahem…) I respect other dietary preferences and have now taken a keener interest in developing easy and Indian-kitchen friendly recipes. Most vegan recipes have options of expensive nut milks – that once opened, goes bad in about 36 hours and vegan butters that require deep pockets and imported stores – both of which do not appeal to the lazy, home cook in me!
But this recipe came pretty easily for me as a baby step towards vegan baking – vegetable oil (easy), sugars (always by my side), flour (but of course), and spoonfuls of my soothing warm Chai Masala Hot Cocoa – a collaboration with Toska Chocolates – that helped the winter go comfortably for me, and now with the sun coming out more, perfect into that mini bite of cookie!
Give this cookie a shot – dunk into non-dairy milk or a cup of espresso – or just like that, while you’re heading out the door!
