How to Make Amaretto Chip 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, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup craisins.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
