Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almond butter
  • 1 1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup ground almonds
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal (not quick cook)
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks or chips

Instruction

  • Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Beat butter until creamy.
  • Add sugars beating until fluffy, approximately 3 minutes. Scrape the bowl as necessary.
  • Beat in almond butter until incorporated.
  • Beat in vanilla and then eggs, one at a time.
  • Gently stir in the dry ingredients (I switched to the paddle on my kitchen aid mixer).
  • Add ground almonds and oatmeal and stir until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
  • Roll cookies into 2 Tbs sized balls. Place on baking sheets and bake cookies for 10-12 minutes. Edges should be slightly browned and the cookies puffed.
  • Cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a cookie cooling rack.
