Decadent Double Chocolate Almond Cookies
Make these sinfully rich and decadent double chocolate almond cookies. Totally worth the splurge for a self-proclaimed chocoholic!
Around here, we’ve really cut back on eating sweets. But, when I made these double chocolate almond cookies for my son and his college friends, I knew I was in trouble! Of course, I had to sample at least one to make sure they were tasty. That’s a mom’s duty, right?
Believe me when I say these cookies are love (hate?) at first bite.
Before I share the recipe, I must warn you. The smell coming from your oven will have you hooked (kind of like when you walk past Cookies by George at the mall). Take one bite and it’s all over from there. Kind of like my sweet potato brownie bites or double chocolate sweet potato muffins (for a gluten-free chocolate treat).
These cookies have everything going for them. I won’t do them justice, but let me try to describe. They’re chewy on the outside combined with a fudge-like middle along with an almond-y crunch. Let’s just say they’re delicious! You may want to double the batch. Just saying… Enjoy!
How to Make Double Chocolate Almond Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- ¾ cup brown sugar, lightly packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup all purpose flour (I used nutri-flour “tastes like white” blend)
- ⅔ cup whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raw almonds, roughly chopped
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat together butter and both sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix well.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually beat into butter mixture.
- Stir in almonds and chocolate chips until well combined.
- Roll into balls (I used a small ice cream scoop to ration them out) and place at least a couple inches apart on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes (depending on size). They will be a bit firm on the top, but soft in the center (don’t over bake, as you want them ooey gooey on the inside). Remove from oven and let sit for a couple minutes before you transfer them to the cooling rack.
This recipe makes 18 large cookies.
