Party Time Cookies


1½ cups salted butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla
½ tsp pure almond extract
2 cups flour
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
2 cups slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 350°

Cream butter and sugar together in medium bowl using an electric mixer set at medium speed.  Add extracts and beat well.  Scrape bowl.  Add flour, chocolate chips, and almonds, and blend on low speed until just combined.  Do not overmix.

Shape rounded tablespoonfuls into 1½ inch balls and place on ungreased baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Press balls with palm of hand or bottom of drinking glass into ½ thick rounds.

Bake 15-17 minutes or until cookies just begin to brown.  Transfer cookies to a cool, flat surface.
