Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the flour, almond extract, and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips using a wooden spoon.
- Wrap the dough in plastic and chill for about a half hour.
- Preheat the oven to 300°. Using clean hands, break off a little bit of dough at a time, and roll into 1 1/2 inch long fingers. Place them on an ungreased cookie sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, watching them carefully. These cookies are best cooked until just before they start to brown. Break one open as a tester.
- Cool on a cooling rack, and store in an airtight container. These freeze really well.
Notes
Almond extract can be found in the spice aisle and really puts these over the top.
