EXPLAINED: Almond butter elevates this chocolate chunk cookie recipe - The Real Truth

Almond butter adds a mellow, toasty, golden-buttery backdrop to the dough of this chocolate chunk cookie. (Lynda Balslev/TastefFood)

This is no ordinary chocolate chip cookie. While it has all the luscious aspects of a traditional chewy Toll House-style cookie, this cookie notches it up to another level with roasted almond butter, chunky dark chocolate and a sprinkle of sea salt. 

Almond butter does wondrous things to the cookie. It’s not as pronounced in flavor as peanut butter, which (in my opinion) easily overwhelms the flavor of a cookie. Almond butter is stealthier; it adds a mellow, toasty, golden-buttery backdrop to the dough.
