With its versatile 5-blade set, this tool ensures a fine, uniform grind that elevates your baking game—let’s dive into this delicious recipe!
Ingredients (Makes 12 Cookies)
1 cup (120g) almonds (whole, unsalted)
1/2 cup (100g) almond butter (unsweetened)
1/3 cup (65g) coconut sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch of sea salt
2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Almonds: Secure the crank cheese grater to your countertop with its stable suction base. Attach the 5-blade set and use the food pusher to safely grind the almonds into a fine, uniform powder. The sharp stainless steel blades ensure even grinding, perfect for cookie texture. Transfer the ground almonds to a mixing bowl.
Mix the Dough: Add almond butter, coconut sugar, egg, vanilla extract, baking soda, and sea salt to the bowl with the ground almonds. Stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms. If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips for an extra treat.
Shape the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the dough into 12 small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or a fork for that classic cookie look.
Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Store: Enjoy warm with a cup of tea or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
Tips and Variations
Nut Swap: Try hazelnuts or cashews with the 5-blade set for a different flavor.
Sweet Boost: Add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate (grated with the 3-blade set) after baking.
Gluten-Free: This recipe is naturally gluten-free—perfect for dietary needs.
Texture Play: For crunchier cookies, bake an extra 2 minutes.
Conclusion
