These cookies are almost brownie like in texture and full of chocolate almond flavor!
Servings: 14 cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup white whole wheat flour, or all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons chopped dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- In a large bowl whisk or sift together the flour, almond meal, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium high speed with the paddle attachment or with a handheld mixer, beat the soft butter and sugars until smooth and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add in the egg and almond extract and beat for another minute until smooth scraping down the sides once.
- On low speed slowly add in the dry ingredients scraping down the sides once. Beat until just combined, don't overmix. Using a rubber spatula fold in the chopped dark chocolate.
- Use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared cookie sheet. Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes (they will appear underbaked) then remove them from the oven and let them cool on the pan for about 3 minutes before removing them to finish cooling on a wire rack.
