Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookie (In My Opinion) Spiked With Almond Flavoring!

People ask me what my favorite chocolate chip cookie

is and I have to tell them that this 

Almond Spiked Chocolate Chip Cookie

is hands down my very favorite.

If you love almond flavor like I do, you

will love these too.

Hubby likes milk and I like semi-sweet so I 

combined both for the cookies today.

I love to use my small scoop to make the cookies

uniform.

(raw dough)

And I always bake on parchment paper when

I make cookies.  It helps them to keep from

spreading and from over-browning.

Almond Spiked Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

1 C. real butter

1 C. brown sugar, packed

1/2 C. white sugar

2 large eggs

4 tsp. pure almond flavor

2 1/2 C. flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips or a combination

In a large mixing bowl cream the butter and sugars.

Mix in the eggs and the flavoring.

In a separate bowl mix the flour, soda, baking

powder and salt.  Add it to the butter mixture and

mix thoroughly, then stir in the chocolate chips.

Scoop onto parchment paper lined baking sheets

and bake at 350 for 10-11 minutes.  I like to bake 

mine just until the tops are dry.  Take them out of 

the oven and let them sit on the pan until cool enough

to handle.  This way the centers are soft and gooey

and the bottoms are not overbaked.
