scant teaspoon almond extract (teaspoon not quite full)
¼ cup of mocha cocoa - the kind you use to make hot chocolate.
1 cup almonds, slivered or chopped
Instructions
Gather all ingredients - Bring to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, soda, and salt; set aside.
Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars.
Add eggs, once at a time, blending well after each addition. Blend in vanilla and almond extracts.
Blend in flour mixture, a little at a time, until it’s all incorporated.
By hand, stir in nuts just until incorporated.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced at least two inches apart.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10-13 minutes or until edges are starting to brown. Let cool on baking sheet for ten minutes then move to wire racks to cool completely.
Yield: about four dozen cookies.
