Holiday Cookie & Hot Chocolate Party with Blue Diamond Almond Breeze

It’s the
most wonderful time of the year! I absolutely love the holiday season and I’ve
been enjoying it to the fullest. From my amazing trip to the Christmas Markets
in France to ice skating in Bryant Park and visiting the famous Rockefeller
Tree. But my favorite part of the holiday season is spending time with the
people I love most, so I decided to host a little cookie party with three of my
girlfriends thanks to Blue Diamond Almond Breeze. I’ve been drinking Almond
Breeze Almondmilk for years. It’s a delicious substitution for milk in coffee,
tea, baking, and my favorite, hot chocolate.
Here’s the
recipe I used to make delicious chocolate chip cookies using Almond Breeze:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup cane sugar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup Almond Breeze Almondmilk
  • 1 tsp Madagascar vanilla
  • 1/2  tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • 2 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 6 oz. semisweet chocolate
    chips
  • 6 oz. extra dark chocolate
    chips
1.    
Preheat
oven to 350°F.
2.    
Using
an electric mixer, cream butter and sugars together.
3.    
Add
Almond Breeze slowly, whisking together ingredients. Then add vanilla.
4.    
Combine
flour and baking soda in a separate bowl.
5.    
Add
dry ingredients to the butter, sugar, milk and vanilla and stir to blend.
6.    
Add
in the chocolate chips.
7.    
Bake
for 10-12 minutes on baking sheet.
This
recipe is egg-free so you can even eat the dough while you bake (I sure did!)
The Almond Breeze Almondmilk adds that creamy texture to help bind the wet and
dry ingredients. Almond Breeze is also a great source of calcium with 50% more
calcium than skim milk, plus it’s perfect for those who are lactose intolerant
or sensitive to dairy. You can easily swap Almond Breeze for milk 1 to 1 in any
baking recipe! I also love use high quality semisweet and extra dark chocolate
chips to add more yummy flavors to the mix. In addition to our fabulous
chocolate chip cookies, we also made hot chocolate with cocoa mix and Almond
Breeze Almondmilk by heating it in a small pot and whisking over the stove
until small bubbles appear. It was the perfect get together with lots of
laughs! All the cookies were eaten by the time everyone left (sorry, Santa!)
