Ingredients
1/2 cup (55g) almond meal (ground almonds)1/2 cup (60g) fine brown rice flour1/4 cup (25g) cornflour (corn starch)1/2 cup (55g) cocoa powder1/4 cup (55g) muscovado sugar, or use brown sugar1/4 cup (50g) unrefined raw sugar1 teaspoon (gluten-free) baking powder1 teaspoon ground cinnamonpinch fine sea salt1/4-1/2 teaspoon chilli powder/cayenne pepper1/2 cup (65g) lightly toasted almonds*, roughly chopped1/2 cup ( 60g) dark (dairy-free) chocolate, roughly chopped1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil (olive oil, rice bran, coconut oil etc...)1 egg1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1-2 tablespoons rice or other dairy-free milk
Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line a oven tray with baking paper or grease with oil.
Tip almond meal into a medium bowl. Sieve over remaining dry ingredients. Add chopped almonds and chocolate and whisk to fully incorporate. In another small bowl whisk together the oil, egg and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients and add 1-2 tablespoons of rice milk and mix to form a soft dough. You want the mixture to be quite moist without being wet.
Roll 2 tablespoons of mixture into a ball, flatten and place on oven tray. Repeat with remaining dough. Cook in the middle oven shelf for 12-15 minutes until just cooked. These cookies do not flatten out much more once cooked, so do flatten into shape before cooking. Once cooked, remove from the oven and set aside to cool on the tray. Will store airtight for 2-3 days, although I like them best when eaten on the day of baking.
* To toast the almonds, bake on a tray in preheated 180C/350F oven for around 10 minutes, shaking the tray around half-way through, until golden and toasty.
