Nutty Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
January 21, 2009
I was cleaning out my pantry the other day and I realized I had small amounts of a bunch of ingredients — almond butter, slivered almonds, and brown sugar (two open packages, I hate that!). I decided to try my recipe for Almond Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies again, adjusting it to help clean out my pantry. I liked the result — a tender, somewhat flaky cookie (unexpected, since there’s no white flour used) with nice flavors of both the nut butters and the chocolate chips.
The boys, plus a friend who was here for a playdate, all enjoyed them.
Nutty Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
1 c. butter, at room temperature
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. white sugar
1/2 c. almond butter
1/2 c. peanut butter
1/2 c. slivered almonds
2 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. whole wheat flour
1½ c. quick-cooking oats
1 c. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350° F.
With a hand mixer, beat butter, almond and peanut butter, and sugars in a large bowl until creamy. Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT for chocolate chips, mixing on low speed until ingredients are well incorporated. Then by hand, mix in the chocolate chips.
Drop by heaping teaspoonsful onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, until cookies are just golden. Cool slightly before removing from the pan.

Do you think I would have to adjust anything if I used ww pastry flour?
I think it would probably be fine… the first time I made this recipe I used regular white flour, and since it also worked with the whole wheat, I bet whole wheat pastry would be OK. I’ve never actually used pastry flour of any kind, though! — Dara
