Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Step 1

Place melted butter in a large bowl Add granulated and brown sugars and mix until smooth. Stir in egg, vanilla and almond extracts.

Step 2

Stir in in baking soda and salt, then slowly mix in flour just until the batter is smooth and comes together. Slowly mix in almonds and M&Ms.

Step 3

Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Spacing doesn’t matter because you will be chilling the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a second cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 5

Remove the chilled cookie dough balls from the refrigerator and space them 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets. Bake (2 tablespoon sized cookies) for 11-15 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden and the tops are no longer glossy. Let cool on the cookie sheets at least 10 minutes before removing.
