Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 unit Large egg
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 80 grams Sliced almonds (toasted)
- 60 grams Dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a handheld or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the toasted sliced almonds and dark chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a thinner cookie for extra crispness.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Chocolate Almond Crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
