Soft, chewy, and utterly irresistible, these Milk Chocolate Almond Cookies are a delightful treat that marries the creamy sweetness of milk chocolate with the satisfying crunch of toasted almonds.

With just 15 minutes of prep time, they're a quick and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth, making them ideal for busy weeknights or unexpected gatherings. A hint of vanilla elevates their flavor, while the combination of granulated and brown sugar ensures every bite is melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Whether youβre baking for a holiday party or simply treating yourself, these cookies are guaranteed to impress. Don't forget to store the extras (if there are any!) in an airtight container for a snack that tastes just as fresh the next day.
Preheat your oven to 175Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Gently fold in the milk chocolate chunks and toasted almonds with a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
