Kathleen King's Double Chocolate Almond Cookies

I love chocolate cookies, especially if there are chocolate chips in there...  I was watching an episode of Barefoot Contessa on the Food Network and she had a guest on by the name of Kathleen King. 

I knew I had to make these cookies!!!

Kathleen King's Double Chocolate Almond Cookies

Ingredients

2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) salted butter, softened to room temperature

1 cup sugar

1 cup firmly packed dark or light brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup white chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup almonds, chopped

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the butter and sugars. Add the egg and vanilla and mix together. Add the flour mixture and continue mixing until just combined.

Add the chocolates and almonds and mix until combined. Using two tablespoons or a small ice cream scoop, drop the dough two inches apart on sheet pans lined with parchment. Bake for 15 minutes.

Cool the cookies on the cookie sheets. The cookies should be very soft when they are removed from the oven. They will firm up as they cool.
