Chocolate Chip Almond Cookies



I'm feeling a bit lazy today...maybe because it's a Saturday. So...what to bake when not really feeling up to it?? Oh I know...Cookies! I used the recipe in my Professional Baking book by Wayne Gisslen but I divided it by four.

CHOCOLATE CHIP ALMOND COOKIES
BUTTER, unsalted 90 grams
GRANULATED SUGAR 75 grams
BROWN SUGAR 75 grams
SALT 2 grams
EGG 1 piece
VANILLA EXTRACT 2.5 ml
WATER 15 ml
ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR 150 grams
BAKING SODA 2 grams
CHOCOLATE CHIPS 80 grams
SLIVERED ALMONDS 40 grams
Cream Butter and sugars using the paddle attachment of Kitchenaid mixer. Add egg, vanilla extract and water. Continue beating. Stop mixer and scrape down sides of bowl. In another bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add into egg mixture and mix using the lowest setting. When flour has been absorbed set to medium until well combined. Turn off mixer. Fold in chocolate chips and almonds.
Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls, leave spaces in between. Bake in a preheated 350 degrees farenheit oven for 15 minutes.
