Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 6. Put both sugars, almonds, chocolate and salt into a large bowl, then sieve in the flour, cocoa and bicarbonate of soda. Mix to combine.
  2. In a separate small bowl mix the almond butter, coconut oil, golden syrup and water together then add to the large bowl. Mix using a wooden spoon then bring the dough together using your hands.
  3. Divide the cookie dough to make 8 equal balls, space out on the prepared baking tray/s then flatten slightly with the palm of your hand.
  4. Bake for 15 – 17 minutes, this will vary depending on thickness – if the edges of the cookies feel firm but centre is still soft, it should be ready to take out. Leave to cool for 15 minutes, then enjoy!

  1. For best results, use flaked almonds lightly smashed up, but whole almonds, chopped into small pieces will also work well.

    If you don’t have coconut oil at home, you could swap out for groundnut oil.

  2. Chill the shaped cookies for up to 1-2 days, covered, then bake from chilled adding a few minutes to the bake time.
