  • measuring spoons
  • 2 wire cooling racks
  • 1 nut chopper to finely dice almonds

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened (3 sticks)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract tablespoon NOT teaspoon (no substitutes)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (Bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 24 oz. pkg. miniature chocolate chips (two 12-ounce packages)
  • 2 cups almonds finely chopped (measure after chopping)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Mix butter, sugars, eggs, vanilla, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl with electric beaters until smooth.
  • Stir in flour, chocolate chips and almonds.
  • Stir thoroughly; this may take 4-5 minutes.
  • With a large cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and pack it into the cookie scoop before leveling it off.
  • Place onto ungreased cookie pans approximately 3-inches apart.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every seven to eight minutes while baking.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on oven racks every 7 minutes of baking time.
  • Cool cookies about 5 minutes on cookie pans before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: My cookies took about 18 minutes to bake completely.
 
NOTE: You will probably need to stir the cookie dough about 5 minutes to get all the flour worked into it.
 
NOTE: Because this recipe uses so much flour, I usually keep stirring after the flour has been worked in so that the dough is no longer crumbly. I continue stirring until the dough starts adhering together in large clumps.
