Almond White Chocolate Chip Cookies


I am so in love with these cookies.  In fact, I may need to reproduce them in cake form.  Like today.  So that I can cover that cake with cherry frosting.  Because whoa, almond, white chocolate, and cherry together?  Perfect.  Or, just skip the cake and spread some cherry frosting on top of these cookies!  These cookies are crispy chewy with a wonderful almond flavor, white chocolate chips and sliced almonds.  Perfection.

Almond White Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 cup ( 2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (8 ounces) white chocolate chips
1 cup sliced almonds

Preheat the oven to 375F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Beat in the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well blended.  Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and beat until just combined.  Stir in the white chocolate chips and sliced almonds.

Use a cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoon size) to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet.  Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are just set and the edges are lightly browned.  Remove cookies from the oven.  Transfer cookies to a cooling rack to cool completely.  Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
