Doppelt-Schoggi Mandeln Gebäck!

haha that's a title in Schweizer Deutsch (swiss german) = double-chocolate almond cookies

Made these cookies the other day, just based on what ingredients I hadn't run out of, and ended up being very pleased with how they turned out :)

*my midnight-halloween cookie pic! looks spookie eh?*

Directions:
1) Beat together 2 tablespoons butter, 6 tablespoons light olive oil, 1/2-3/4 c almond butter (I grind my own from plain unroasted almonds--just needs a good food processor), 3/4 tsp salt, and 1 cup brown sugar-- beat well, then add and beat in 3 tablespoons pure cocoa powder, then beat in 2 eggs, and 5-6 Tablespoons Amaretto.
2) Sift together 1.25 cups flour with 1 tsp baking powder into another bowl, then add to mixer, and briefly stir in.
3) Lastly stir in ~100-125g dark or bitter-sweet chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate bar ( they don't really sell chocolate chips like well known in the US! amazing..)

Spoon out dollops of the whole mix to something non-stick, bake for ~12-15 min at 180 C, just until puffs up fully, but it's nice to leave them so the outside is dried out and crispy but the inside still soft!
