Description
Vanilla flavoried almond cookies with rich chocolate centers
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour (I used Bob's Red Mill)
- 1/2 cup sugar (I used white sugar but you can substitute light brown or coconut sugar)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup bitter sweet mini chocolate chips (I used 365 brand from Whole Foods)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar and salt. Add eggs and vanilla and stir to combine. Knead a bit with your hands until you get the consistency of sticky dough.
- Grab about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough in your hand. Roll and squeeze it into a ball. Make a hole with your thumb and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Pat it down a bit so the bottom is flat. Repeat with remaining dough. Pour about 1/4 teaspoon of mini chocolate chips into each hole - as many as you can fit in there. Push them down gently so you can pack lots of them in. Then add some more on top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 16 minutes. Remove and set tray on a heat-proof surface. Go to the next step quickly - while the cookies are hot. The chocolate centers will still be in the form of mini chips. Take a pointy knife and use the tip to gently swirl the hot chocolate chips in the center of each cookie.
- Let the cookies cool on the tray for 10 minutes or so. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (about an hour for the chocolate to harden) Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
