I have been wanting to experiment with other flours for sometime now. I normally use oat, barley or whole wheat pastry flour for my baking recipes. Although I have bought almond flour in the past I have not used it until today and oh boy, what a pleasant surprise.
This cookies taste awesome. I would actually love to use almond flour much more but at $8.99 a pound I really don’t think I will :-)
Because I was experimenting I did not want to use so many Godgi berries in the recipe, next time I will double the amount. You can also use other type of nuts or dried fruit as well as white chocolate chips if you prefer.
If you don’t have almond flour you can use other type of flour but keep it at 2 cups instead of 2 1/2 cups and see how the dough feels. It should be some what moist and a little bit wet.
Anyhow, these are to die for so
Enjoy!!
