Nutty Screwdriver Cookies

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.

3.In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

4.Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until fully incorporated.

5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

6.Fold in the chopped mixed nuts, dried bird cherries, and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7.Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

8.Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork or your fingers to create a 'screwdriver' shape.

9.Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

10.Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
