chocolate almond cookies

These are what angels eat in heaven...all...day...long

dry:

• 3/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup chopped toasted almonds
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips

wet:

• 1/4 cup sunflower oil
• 1/3 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract

method:

Preheat oven to 350.

Chop whole almonds, then measure off 1/3 cup, then toast for no more than 10 min.

In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients.

In a smaller bowl whisk together wet ingredients until well blended.

Pour wet mixture into dry and stir until combined. The batter will be thick, and it will seem as though there are too many chocolate chips for the amount of dough. (I know, you ask, how can this possibly be?)

Roll dough into little balls between your hands and flatten into thick disks on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Bake 11 min for crisp cookies, 10 min. for slightly softer cookies.

Cool on wire rack.

Try not to eat them all in one day.
