How to Make Almond Joy Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. (Keep a close eye, as ovens vary.)
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
