Instructions
- Warm your oven to 375°F and arrange two parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Combine 2 ¼ cups flour, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat 1 cup butter with ¾ cup granulated and ¾ cup brown sugar until the mixture becomes creamy and pale, roughly 3 minutes.

- Slowly incorporate the dry ingredient mixture into your butter blend until everything just combines.
- Gently fold 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped almonds into your cookie dough.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared sheets, keeping each cookie 2 inches apart.

Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for smoother dough that blends more evenly.
- Replace some all-purpose flour with almond flour for enhanced nutty flavor and softer texture.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading and create thicker cookies.
- For gluten-free version, swap all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend and ensure chocolate chips are certified gluten-free.
