Chocolate Chunk and Almond Cookies

Description Recipe

The first of Real Simple's cookie of the month recipe.

Yield: 40 cookies

* 2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
* 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
* ½ cup granulated sugar
* 2 tablespoons corn syrup
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 large egg
* 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
* ½ teaspoon kosher salt
* 1 ¼ teaspoons baking soda
* 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped or chips
* 1 cup (4 ounces) toasted almonds, chopped

1. Heat oven to 375° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2. With an electric mixer on medium-high, beat the butter, brown and granulated sugars, corn syrup, and vanilla for 3 minutes. Add the egg and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Reduce mixer speed to low and slowly add the flour mixture to the egg mixture.
3. Stir in the chocolate and almonds.
4. Form the dough into tablespoon-size mounds. Place on the prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake until lightly browned at the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks. Cool completely.
