Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add margarine and cut it roughly into flour using a pastry cutter, until mixture is the texture of coarse meal with a few larger margarine lumps. Work quickly so the margarine does not melt. Add nondairy milk and stir with a wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overwork.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat into an oblong shape, about 1 inch thick. Using a 2-inch floured cookie or biscuit cutter, cut the biscuits out and place them on a baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with melted margarine and bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until they begin to turn golden. Remove biscuits from oven immediately and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Make the maple "butter": In a mixing bowl, using a whisk or electric mixer, whip margarine with maple syrup until light and fluffy. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:
- Pre- heat oven to 180 degrees
- Grease an oven tray (or two)
- Cream the butter and sugar together until it's colour is lightened and it is fluffy
- Beat in sifted flour and cocoa to make a stiff batter
- Check the dough holds together by pressing a small handful of crumbs together. If it is too crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of soy milk to the dough.
- Add the cornflakes and mix through thoroughly.
- Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and put on greased tray.
- Flatten slightly using the back of a fork. They will not spread during cooking so you can place them close together.
- Back for 12 - 15 minutes.
- Cool on a tray for 5 minutes then transfer to cooling racks.
- When cool ice with chocolate icing and press walnut into it (or use sprinkles!)
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients so that you have everything you need within reach.
- Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the final product. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the biscuits tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the biscuits to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the biscuits at a high temperature: This will help them to rise quickly and get a golden brown crust.
- Don't overbake the biscuits: Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are cooked through.
