Servings : 36 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups superfine sugar
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 sticks butter , room temperature, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs , at room temperature, beaten
- 1 bag (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups sliced toasted almonds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Line 3 cookie sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the superfine sugar and light brown sugar; set aside.
- Place the butter in your mixer's bowl and beat until creamy and smooth.
- Slowly add the sugar mixture; continue to beat until thoroughly combined.
- Mix in the vanilla.
- Continue to beat for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is a pale yellow.
- Gradually beat in the eggs.
- With the mixer speed on low, slowly mix in the flour mixture; continue to beat until incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and toasted sliced almonds.
- Scoop out the dough using a 2-inch diameter ice cream scoop, and drop batter onto the prepared pans, leaving at least 3 inches in between each cookie.
- Flatten each ball of dough with the heel of your palm.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
