Why you should bake a batch of these cookies today

Plant-Powered Goodness

These cookies are a celebration of vegan ingredients, showcasing that plant-based treats can be just as decadent and satisfying. Each bite is filled with the perfect balance of sweet and tart flavours, making them a guilt-free pleasure for vegans and non-vegans alike.

Cherishing Cherries 

The star of these cookies is undoubtedly the cherries. Bursting with natural sweetness and a hint of tartness, these ruby-red gems add a luscious layer of flavour. Whether you use fresh cherries or opt for dried ones, each bite promises a delightful burst of fruity goodness.

Almond Bliss

A Vegan Cherry Bakewell wouldn't be complete without the rich almond flavour. Ground almonds and almond extract create that distinctive marzipan-like taste, giving these cookies an irresistible aroma and an almond-lover's dream come true.

Egg and Dairy-Free Magic 

The magic of vegan baking lies in the art of substitutions. These cookies are crafted without eggs or dairy, yet they maintain that perfect chewiness and tenderness. Vegan butter and plant-based milk come together to create a cookie that's just as satisfying as its traditional counterpart.

Easy-Bake Joy

What makes these cookies even more delightful is how easy they are to make. No complicated steps or rare ingredients – just a simple recipe that allows you to whip up a batch of these heavenly treats in no time. Perfect for satisfying those spontaneous sweet cravings!

How long will they keep?

These almond-y cherry Bakewell tart-inspired cookies can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in foil for up to 7 days.
