How to Make Amaretto Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- 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.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons amaretto liqueur until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup craisins.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as oven temperatures can vary.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
