How to Make Amaretto Chunk Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup amaretto, and 1 teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup flaked coconut, and 1 cup slivered almonds.
  7. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Avoid overbaking!
  9. 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

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
