Description
A delicious sweet treat for Christmas – (Roasted) Sugared Almonds Chocolate Chip Cookies. So good!
Ingredients
1/2 cup (120g) butter, melted
3/4 cup (150g) brown sugar
1 medium egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
5.3 oz. (150g) roasted (sugarcoated) almonds, chopped
1.8 oz. (50g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
some roasted (sugarcoated) almonds for decorations (optional)
Instructions
1. Melt the butter and let cool down a bit. Chop the almonds and chocolate coarsely and set aside.
2. Add the sugar and melted butter to a large bowl and mix until very light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well. Combine the flour with baking powder, and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Add the chopped almonds and chocolate and fold in. Place the dough in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, place dough portions with enough space in between on the baking sheet and press some roasted almonds into the dough (optional) – bake for about 12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still a bit soft. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Notes
Enjoy baking!
