Triple Chocolate-Almond Explosion Cookies image

When published in "Vive Le Vegan" by Dreena Burton, these were called double chocolate, but since there are really three forms of chocolateyness I thought I'd better change the title :-) Otherwise, however, these cookies are pure, perfect decadence... they just beg to be shared with the world! (I highly recommend buying Dreena's book for more of the same experiences!) Note: My picture is of what I made my dad for Fathers' Day. :-) It took about a third of the whole recipe and was like a jumbo brownie-cookie! MMm-mm!

Time 32m

Yield 18 cookies, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour or 1 cup unbleached white flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
5 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup canola oil (or other light-tasting oil)
2 -3 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips or 2 -3 tablespoons dark chocolate bars, broken into chunks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. Stir together the first first 8 dry ingredients, RESERVING 2 Tbsp of the almond slivers (be sure to sift the cocoa and baking powder/soda!).
  • In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, extracts and oil.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry, and stir just until well combined (don't overmix!)
  • Spoon the batter onto a nonstick or parchment-lined sheet. For each mound, take a few chocolate chips and a few of the remaining almond slivers and press into the top of each cookie, flattening slightly.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or just until gloden around the edges (any longer may let them dry out). Let cool for 1 minute on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

These cookies were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added some spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg.

These cookies were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added a little bit of moisture, such as a mashed banana or some applesauce.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used semisweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.

These cookies are delicious, but they can be a bit messy to eat. The chocolate chips and almonds tend to fall off, so be prepared to get your hands dirty.

These cookies are so easy to make, even a beginner baker can handle them. I made them with my kids and they had a blast.

These cookies are even better when served with ice cream. The cold ice cream complements the warm, gooey cookies perfectly.

I'm a big fan of salty-sweet combinations, so these cookies were perfect for me. The salt really balances out the sweetness of the chocolate and almonds.

I made these cookies for a party and they were a huge hit! Everyone loved them and they disappeared quickly. I'll definitely be making them again.
