Almond Double-Chocolate Cookies!

Spring is finally here, and it is time to cook and bake a lot! I especially love to bake cookies, because they're so easy to make, and the dough stays incredibly good in the freezer. 

This is my recipe for my Almond Double-Chocolate Cookies. I came up with this recipe when i thought about, how i could transform a plain chocolate chip cookie recipe into something different and special (there's nothing wrong with traditional chocolate chip cookies though!)
I know that chocolate goes very well with almonds, so i tried it out: So delicious!

For 1 portion, you will need:

1/2 cup (about 113 grams) of softened butter (being honest with you, I just microwave my butter for 10-30 seconds, or until it is softened)

1 cup (about 201 grams) of white granulated sugar

1 whole egg

1 1/4 cups (about 160 grams) of all-purpose flour 

1/2 cup (about 65 grams) of almonds, chopped

3/4 cup (about 114 grams / 4 oz) of chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips (I used half white chocolate and half dark chocolate) 

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

1/2 teaspoon of vanilla

- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit (about 175 degrees celcius), and cover a bakingsheet with parchmentpaper. Set it aside.  

- In a bowl using a whisk or a spatula, cream together the butter and the sugar. - Add the egg and the vanilla, and mix it together. 

- Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda, and fold it in, until the dry ingredients is combined.
- Fold in your chopped almonds and chocolate. 

- Using a tablespoon or your hands, form balls out of your dough and put them on your bakingsheet. I just use my hands to form my balls of dough (about 1 1/2 tablespoon in size, and i got 16). You can make them smaller if you want to, but the baking time will vary, of course.

- Bake the cookies for about 10-15 minutes. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Enjoy!
