Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 7 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 vial lemon flavoring
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 1 Golden apple (about 7 oz)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbsp chocolate chips
Steps
To make the apple and chocolate chip cookies, start by putting the all-purpose flour, almond flour (alternatively, you can finely grind whole almonds), sugar, cinnamon, and baking powder into the bowl of a mixer (or food processor). Turn on the mixer to blend all the dry ingredients.
Add the cold butter cut into cubes. Blend until you get a sandy consistency. Then incorporate the egg and lemon flavoring, and pulse the mixer for a few seconds, just enough to absorb the egg. Transfer the mixture onto a floured surface or into a large bowl and knead briefly to compact it all together. Don’t worry if the dough is still a bit crumbly.
Peel the apple, remove the core, cut it into small pieces, and add it to the dough. Work the mixture with your hands: the moisture from the apple will help make it more homogeneous. Then, add the chocolate chips and continue mixing to distribute them throughout the dough.
With your hands, form balls, slightly flatten them, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F for 20/25 minutes.
Once baking is complete, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. If desired, you can sprinkle them with a little powdered sugar.
