How to Make Almond Joy Cookies

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