Equipment

  • 3 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 1/4 cup cookie scoop
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 nut chopper to finely chop whole almonds
  • 2 wire cooling racks

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups butter softened (3 sticks)
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract (tablespoon NOT teaspoon)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. sea salt
  • 4 cups unbleached all purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 23 oz. bag white chocolate chips (two 11.5-ounce bags) NOT vanilla chips or Premiere white baking chips
  • 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, white chocolate chips and almonds.
  • Stir thoroughly; this will take about 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 sheets approximately 3-inches apart.
  • Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every seven to eight minutes while baking.
  • Cool cookies about 5 minutes on cookie sheets before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: My cookies took about 18-20 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.
 
NOTE: If the dough crumbles when you place it on the cookie sheet, the dough either isn’t stirred well enough or the dough is not packed into the cookie scoop firmly enough.
 
NOTE: This recipe requires REAL white chocolate chips--NOT vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips. Those contain NO chocolate.
 
NOTE: I purchase the white chocolate chips at Kroger's (private selection) or Trader Joe’s.
