Chocolate Chip Almond Cookies

Today, I'm going to give you a recipe for Chocolate Chip Almond cookies. They're super yummy!!!
As always, gather everything you need FIRST!

1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 sticks unsalted butter (if you need to use salted butter, omitt the salt below)
1/2tsp baking powder
1tsp baking soda
2tsp PURE ALMOND extract
2 1/4 cup flour
3 cups sliced almonds, TOASTED
2 cups chocolate chips
1/8tsp salt 

First thing you do is toast your almonds. Turn the oven on to 350. Place the almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer- or as close to it as you can get. Place them in the oven for 10 minutes, no more than 15. They should be a golden brown color. Let cool. 

Up the oven temp to 375.

In a bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, and almond extract. Beat with a mixer until fluffy, like below. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing so each egg is full absorbed. After you add the eggs, the batter will be a creamy looking liquid.Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour to the mix. Mix again until there is no flour to be seen. Finally!! It's time to add in the almonds and chocolate chips! STIR those into the batter, until they're mixed in.

Doesnt the batter look yummy??? :D It tastes pretty good too!! Go on and sneak a taste. I won't tell!!

Take a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, and use it to make your cookies all the same size. Drop the batter by the tablespoon full onto UNGREASED cookie sheets. Bake in the oven at 375 for about 10 minutes and the edges are golden brown. If you want a crispier cookie, bake them for about 12-15 minutes but watch they don't burn. Let cool on the pan for two mintues, then remove to completely cool off.

All done!
