I just finished my first flight on the job and I absolutely LOVED it! Being in the air for 11 hours definitely takes its toll on you, though. I guess it’s just something you get used to. My schedule’s been off ever since I got home, eating my lunch for breakfast and popcorn for dinner. I wouldn’t mind eating cookies for every meal…
Can you believe that on my first trip I forgot my wallet? I was freaking out because I was in another state without any money or my license. Thank goodness for the amazing crew because they made sure I was well taken care of!
Day 2 of my 12 days of cookies: A spruced up chocolate chip cookie with some additional health benefits from all that almond meal. These cookies were a little cakey, but they sure do beat eating almond butter from the jar. This was the first time I ever bought almond butter and will most likely be my only. It’s got nothin’ on peanut butter! The fastest way to use up something you’re not fond of is by throwing lots of it into baking. The result? Something I would actually eat. Recipe adapted from Chocolate and Carrots.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup AP flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup ground almond meal (I got mine from Trader Joe's)
- 3/4 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
- 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 8 ounces dark chocolate bar, roughly chopped (I used TJ’s Pound Plus Bittersweet chocolate)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Beat the butter and sugar together. Mix in the vanilla, eggs, and almond butter.
- Stir in the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually stir in the almond meal and oats until just combined. Fold in the chocolate.
- Scoop by the tablespoons onto your baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.
Mmmm
Post your flight attendant outift on A Pile of Style! Would love to see your work uniform! 🙂
yummy yumm!
I would have to agree… I like almond butter, really I do. I don’t like to discriminate. But when it comes to that or peanut butter, I’d risk my life for the latter.
These look so delicious. Will have to try my hand at making them!

I do consider all the ideas you’ve offered in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are very short for novices. May just you please lengthen them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
