Almond Joy Cookies


Here's my version of an Almond Joy Cookie:

1/2 c. softened butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. pure vanilla OR pure almond flavoring

1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. white whole wheat flour
1 c. old fashioned oats
1/3 c. almond meal
1/4 c. ground flaxseed (optional)
1/4 c. finely ground coconut

1-2 c. semisweet chocolate chips

Cream butter, sugars, egg and vanilla. Scrap bowl and mix well. Add dry ingredients. You may have to play around with the dry ingredients. I sneak in all kinds of wholesome stuff in my cookies. Shhhh...don't tell my kids.

Bake on silpat or parchment paper on a cookie sheet at 375 for 10-11 minutes.
