How to Make Soft Chocolate Almond Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Toast almond slivers: Spread 1/2 cup almond slivers on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups rolled oats, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract until well combined.
  6. Gradually add half of the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  7. Add 1/2 cup milk and mix until just blended.
  8. Gradually add the remaining dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  9. Stir in the toasted almonds and 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  10. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  11. Lightly dampen your finger and gently flatten each cookie to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  12. Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even baking.
  13. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
