Roasted Almond, Chocolate Chip, and Cocoa Nib Cookies with Smoked Sea Salt
 
 
The combination of roasted almonds, sweet milk chocolate chips, bitter cacao nibs and a sprinkling of smoky salt makes these cookies totally irresistible!
Yield: 45 cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 cups plus 3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 9 oz unsalted butter, softened
  • 1¾ cups dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups large milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup roasted almonds, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup cocoa nibs
  • smoked sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and the vanilla. Add half of the flour to the batter and mix until just combined. Add all of the egg mixture, mixing until combined, and then the remaining flour. Mix until combined, about a minute.
  4. Add the chocolate chips to the mixture, 1 cup at a time, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition. Add the almonds and cocoa nibs, mixing until combined. Transfer the batter to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
  5. Heat oven to 350F.
  6. Using a 1½ tbsp cookie scoop, scoop the dough into heaping scoops onto parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving about 1-inch between each cookie. Sprinkle with the smoked salt. Bake for 10 minutes and then let the cookies cool on the pans for 10 minutes before removing to a rack to cool completely.
