Reply #9: Chocolate Chip Almond Butter Cookies With Citrus

[freshwest]

I used to make several kinds of chocolate chip cookies with whole wheat flour years ago. I made some with orange zest, pecans or peanut butter but couldn't find the recipe so I went online.

I've begun to prefer almond butter to peanut and almond flour ito wheat recently. This looks like a peanut butter cookie:

Chocolate Chip Almond Butter Cookies With Citrus

(Makes 18 cookies):

• 1 cup natural almond butter
• 3/4 cup cane sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (omit if your almond butter is salted)
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• Zest of one orange

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Start by mixing together the almond butter, sugar, salt, egg, and baking soda until it has all emulsified.

Next add in the chocolate chips and zest in the orange. Continue to mix this until the mix-ins are evenly distributed. Roll the dough into 18 1-inch balls and lay them out on a lined baking tray about 2 inches apart.

Press down on the top of each dough ball gently with a fork to make a criss-cross pattern. Bake these for about 12-14 minutes or until the edges start to brown slightly.

Perfect to eat alongside a tall glass of almond milk.

Do you consider biscotti to be cookies? I can post a chocolate almond biscotti recipe, too. I stumbled on them a year ago and they are addictive!
