Ingredients
- 5 ounces almond paste
- ½ cup butter, softened (1 stick)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 oz of your favorite Dark Chocolate (recommended: Dove)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Break or chop the almond paste up into small pieces. Mix the almond paste with the butter in a large mixing bowl until combined.
- Add sugars and mix until creamy. Add the egg and the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the butter sugar mixture and stir until just combined.
- Chill 15-30 minutes. Meanwhile break the chocolate into roughly ¾-1 inch pieces.
- Take a heaping spoonful of dough and flatten in the center. Place a piece of chocolate in the center of the dough ball and fold the dough over the top to completely cover the chocolate. Place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are just turning golden brown on the edges and just starting to turn golden on top but still appear soft.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm!
