How to Make Chocolate And Almond Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the chopped dark chocolate and nibbed almonds (or crushed flaked almonds).
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
