Servings: 120 bite-sized cookies
Calories: 142kcal
Ingredients
- 190 g self raising flour
- 150 g salted butter
- 50 g soft brown sugar
- 75 g granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 150 g mini dark chocolate chips
- 50 g almond nibs roasted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°Celsius and line baking trays with parchment paper.
- Dry roast the almond nibs on a pan over small heat or in the oven. Leave aside to cool.
- In a clean bowl, add both the granulated sugar and brown sugar and butter. Cream these until the mixture turns light and creamy. Do not over beat as this could result in the cookies spreading too much during baking.
- Add the egg yolk and vanilla. Beat until just combined.
- Next, add the flour. Mix until well combined.
- And finally, add almond nibs and two-thirds of the dark chocolate chips to the dough. Mix with a spatula.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto the baking tray, making sure they are spaced out to allow for spreading during baking.
- Tidy the cookies by shaping them into ball using your hands. And finally, press in the remaining chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes until they are lightly browned at the sides.
- Remove the cookies from the oven, lift the parchment paper off the baking tray and place them onto wire racks for the cookies to cool down.
- Once cooled, remove them from the paper, and let them cool completely on wire racks before storing in an airtight container. These cookies can last up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
Notes
- Ensure enough space between the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet as the cookies tend to expand during baking.
- To achieve crunchy texture, the cookies must be thoroughly baked. Follow the baking time indicated in the recipe. Keep an eye on them and check for a golden brown color around the edges.
