Chocolate chip almond cookies WITHOUT butter or shortening!

OK so i made these yesterday and they were actually pretty good for not using butter or shortening........BUT we used vegetable oil, sounds weird but trust me! it was yummy. They were a hit, there is only about 4 of them left....lol

okay so here are the ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt


1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla


1 cup of Chocolate chips or chunks of chocolate (milk or dark, which ever you prefer!)
1/2 cup of almonds

Set oven to preheat at 350 degrees

Stir together flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl and set aside....

Then add the sugars, oil, egg and vanilla.... mix together.

Slowly stir in dry ingredients into wet mixture, after blended well together, mix in the chocolate and almonds.

Using a tablespoon measure or spoon, scoop up dough and shape into 1 inch rounds. Space them about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. The mounds should be full with chips and almonds  ;] Bake for 8-10 minutes & let cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet.
Makes about 2 dozen or less.


* Also if you want just chocolate chip cookies you can add 1&1/2 cups of chocolate chips and take out the almonds! :-] they are sooo yummy!

EnJoY!!!
