Using Munira's Recipe:
Ingredients:
50g Caster Sugar
150g Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
120g Butter (I used Golden Churn Tin version)
30g Shortening
1 Egg
1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract
*220g Plain Flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
250g Chocolate Chip
50g Chopped Almonds
*(For Double Chocolate version, use 205g Plain Flour + 15g Cocoa Powder) - (i used Valrhona cocoa powder)
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 170°C. Combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt, set aside.
2. Cream butter and shortening together with both sugars. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
3. Start incorporating the flour mixture into the batter to form a dough. Fold in chocolate chips and almonds.
4. Using a teaspoon to measure, drop the dough in small balls onto a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes. (For 1/2 teaspoon measure, bake for 13-14 minutes)
5. Remove from oven and transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely. Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container.
Do remember to spread out your dough.
