Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cups chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups sliced almonds, toasted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate (or chocolate chips) and the toasted sliced almonds until they are evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate and almond cookies with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk!
