GRUMBLE COOKIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugars on high speed for 3-5 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl.
• Add eggs and vanilla and beat for 1 minute more.
• Mix in flours, baking soda and salt. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Measure 1/3 cup of dough and form into a ball. Pull the ball in half, then press it back together with one of the jagged edges facing up. Place the dough balls on the prepared cookies sheets, 2 inches apart (6 cookies per sheet).
• Bake for about 10 minutes, or until cookies are just golden. Do not over bake. Let sit on cookie sheet for ten minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• For the grumble topping: Heat the oven to 400 degrees F/200 degrees C. Butter an 8-by-8-inch baking dish. 
• Cream together the butter and brown sugar. Cut in the ground almonds and oats. (You could add some cinnamon and ginger if you like, too, although I prefer it plain.) Set aside. 
• For the filling: Toss the fruit with the granulated sugar and flour and tumble into the baking dish. 
• Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the fruit and press to pack it down a bit. Bake until the fruit is soft and the top crisp, about 40 minutes. Let sit about 15 minutes before serving. If you like, serve with sweetened vanilla-flavored whipped cream.
