Ingredients
- 250 grams butter unsalted, room temperature
- 100 grams white sugar granulated
- 75 grams brown sugar soft
- 1 egg
- 60 ml milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 240 grams all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 50 grams cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 80 grams chocolate chips
- 50 grams slivered almonds
- 1 pinch sea salt (to top each cookie)
Instructions
- Combine the white and brown sugar using the large bowl of an electric mixer. Cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until pale and light in colour.
- Add the egg, milk and vanilla and mix again
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and soda separately.
- With the mixer running, slowly add the spoonfuls of the dry ingredients until a cookie dough forms.
- Add the chocolate chips and almonds and mix through the dough using a spatula. ( Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge to rest for 15 minutes).
- Use a cookie scoop to portion out cookies.
- Roll into balls, press slightly and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Top the cookies with extra choc chips, almonds and a sprinkling of salt.
- Bake cookies in an oven at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on a baking sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use high-quality ingredients:
- The better the ingredients, the better the cookie. Use top-quality chocolate, almonds, and butter.
- Toast almonds:
- Toasting them before adding them to the almond chocolate cookies will give them a nuttier flavour and crunch.
- Don't overmix:
- Mix the ingredients until just combined. Over-mixing can toughen the dough and lead to dry cookies.
- Use room temperature ingredients:
- Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. Room temperature ingredients incorporate much better than cold ones.
- Chill the dough:
- Chilling the dough for at least fifteen minutes before baking can help prevent spreading and make better-formed cookies.
- Shape the dough:
- Roll it into balls and press them slightly to create a flatter cookie shape.
