How to Make Triple Chocolate Almond Explosion Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed light brown sugar, and 1 cup almond slivers (reserve 2 tablespoons for topping).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup unsweetened applesauce, ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and ¼ cup vegetable oil.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Press a few chocolate chips and a few of the reserved almond slivers into the top of each cookie, flattening slightly.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
