Almond-Oatmeal Cookies With Dried Cherries
- 160 grams almond flour (see kitchen note above)
- 20 grams coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 180 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 200 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
- 150 grams (1/2 cup) white sugar (we prefer the taste of unbleached sugar)
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams (2 1/2 cups) certified gluten-free oats (see kitchen note above)
- 250 grams dried cherries (make sure they're gluten-free)
- Preparing to bake: Heat the oven to 350u0b0. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combining the dry ingredients: Whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Creaming the butter and sugars: Put the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. (You can do this by hand as well.) Using the paddle attachment, whip the butter on the lowest setting of the stand mixer until it is fluffy. Add the brown and white sugars and mix until they are thoroughly combined with the butter. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. With the mixer running again, add the eggs and vanilla extract.
- Finishing the dough: With the mixer running at the lowest setting, add the dry ingredients. When the flours have disappeared into the dough, add the oats and dried cherries. The dough should form a ball around the paddle of the mixer. Take off the paddle attachment and scrape the dough off it and into the bowl.
- Baking the cookies: Grab a ball of dough and weigh it. You want a 60-gram ball. If you have too much dough, take some off. If you have too little, add some. After weighing a couple of balls of dough, your instincts will kick in and you won't need to weigh them any longer. Line up 6 balls of dough in 2 evenly spaced rows on the baking sheet. Refrigerate the rest of the dough while you are baking.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes. At that point, flatten the balls of dough a bit with the back of a spatula. Turn the baking sheet halfway in the oven. Bake the cookies until the edges are crisping, the top is browning and the center of the cookie is still a bit soft, about another 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven.
- Allow them to cool for 10 minutes on the sheet try then move them to a cooling rack. Bake the remaining cookies the same way.
