Ingredients

  • 100g Zaytoun Fairtrade almonds

  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 170g unsalted butter, cut into chunks

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F and line two large baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Roughly chop the almonds, then mix the chunks with the flours and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Melt the butter, then add the sugars and vanilla extract to the melted butter and whisk well. Allow to cool.
  4. Beat the eggs into the mixture, then pour into the flour mix and stir well. Add the chocolate chunks and mix.  
  5. Roll the dough pieces into small balls, about the size of a walnut, and space them out on the baking trays. Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
