Ingredients

for 40 pieces

Dough
200 g spelt flour
100 g vegan dark chocolate, finely grated
60 g ground cane sugar
2 tsp vanilla sugar
organic orange, use grated zest
1 pinch salt
100 g margarine, cut into pieces, soft
2 tbsp oat drink or other vegan milk
2 tbsp orange juice
Decorate
130 g vegan dark chocolate, finely chopped

How it's done

Dough

Mix the flour, chocolate, sugar, vanilla sugar, orange zest and salt in a bowl. Add the margarine, oat milk and orange juice, combine to form a dough, flatten a little, cover and chill for approx. 1 hr.

Biscuits

On a lightly floured surface or between two sheets of baking paper, roll out the dough in batches to approx. 5 mm thick. Cut out different shapes (approx. 5 cm in diameter), place on two baking trays lined with baking paper.

Bake

Approx. 10 mins. per tray in the centre of an oven preheated to 180 °C. Remove from the oven, leave the biscuits to cool on a rack.

Decorate

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie, ensuring that the bowl does not touch the water. Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. Dip the biscuits half way into the chocolate, place on a sheet of baking paper, leave to dry.
