The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Ever

AKA “The Covid Cookie”

Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar 

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg

  • 1 egg white

  • 2 1/2 cups Almond Meal or Almond Flour ( I like to use a cup and a quarter of each, half flour and half meal)

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt 

  • 1 cup bittersweet or dark chocolate chips (I used the Hu Chocolate Gems)

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and both sugars until creamy. Beat in the egg and egg white, then beat in the vanilla extract, baking soda and salt. Stir in the almond flour until it is well blended, then stir in the chocolate bits.

  2. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  4. Using 2 teaspoons, drop rounds onto a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned.

  5. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
