ABOUT THE RECIPE:
These pretty Cherry-Chocolate Taco Cookies feature tiny tortillas rounds wrapped around vegan chocolate chips and plump dried cherries to create a tasty and unique warm cookie treat!
Makes 8 cookies
INGREDIENTS:
- 3, 8-inch whole-wheat or whole-grain tortillas (use gluten-free if needed)
- ¼ cup maple syrup, plus more as needed
- 40 to 60 (about ¼ cup) vegan chocolate chips
- 12 to 24 dried cherries, cranberries, or raisins
- ¼ cup vegan powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper. Cut four rounds out of each tortilla using a 3 to 4-inch cookie cutter. Place a cut tortilla round on a plate. Brush both sides of the tortilla round with a very thin layer of maple syrup using a pastry brush, making certain to moisten the edges well. Repeat with the remaining rounds.
Arrange 4 to 5 vegan chocolate chips down the center of each tortilla round. Add 1 or 2 cherries next to the chocolate chips. Fold the far edge of the tortilla over the filling, sealing the edges of the tortilla together, pressing firmly with your fingers. Further seal the edges by pressing the outer tongs of a table fork firmly around the outer rim of the cookie. Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Put the taco cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake 5 minutes, then check to make sure the edges of the taco cookies are still sealed. If not, remove from oven and reseal. Bake 5 to 7 minutes more, or until chocolate is melted and the edges of the cookies are slightly golden. Transfer each cookie to a wire rack. Dust the cookies with confectioners’ sugar. Let cool for 10 to 20 minutes and serve warm!
