Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's been a while since I posted a recipe. I'd like to say I have a good excuse, but in reality, summer laziness prevails. My apologies to the loyal followers of this blog. All 2 of you. With no further ado, let's discuss ALMONDS! I love almonds. I really do. Too bad the college budget doesn't allow many nuts to inhabit the dark spaces in my cupboard. These yummo bites differ from normal cookies on account of the crunchy texture of roughly chopped nuts. Thanks to Taste of Home for this recipe!

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/3 cup sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1 cup sliced almonds

Cream butter and sugars in a mixing bowl. Beat in egg and vanilla. Dump in the flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix togetha very well. It may seem a bit more goopy than normal cookies, but trust me. The chunks will keep the cookie from oven-melting. Stir in chocolate chips and almonds. Drop by a teaspoon onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375' for 9-11 minutes. Enjoy the nutty goodness.
