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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
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).
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the toasted sliced almonds and dark chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Gently flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create a thinner cookie for extra crispness.
Step 9
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly soft.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
Store the Chocolate Almond Crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
