These cookies are a delightful twist on the classic chocolate chip recipe, offering a soft and chewy texture with a hint of almond flavor.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated before baking for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening, butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Creaming the fats and sugars properly ensures a smooth texture for your cookies.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
Adding the eggs one at a time can help them blend more evenly.
In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help avoid lumps in the dough.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
Ensure the chocolate chips are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Using a cookie scoop, drop dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Pressing the dough slightly can help achieve a uniform shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid overbaking.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set properly.
Serve the cookies with your favorite beverage and enjoy!
Pairing with milk or coffee enhances the cookie experience.
