Ingredients

Main Ingredients

0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
0.33 cup granulated sugar
0.5 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
0.25 teaspoon almond extract
0.5 teaspoon baking soda
0.5 teaspoon salt
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup Almond M&Ms plus more for topping
0.5 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Place melted butter in a large bowl. Add granulated and brown sugars and mix until smooth. Stir in egg, vanilla, and almond extracts.
Stir in baking soda and salt, then slowly mix in flour just until the batter is smooth and comes together. Slowly mix in almonds and M&Ms.
Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Spacing doesn’t matter because you will be chilling the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a second cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Remove the chilled cookie dough balls from the refrigerator and space them 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets. Bake (2 tablespoon sized cookies) for 11-15 minutes, or until the edges are a light golden and the tops are no longer glossy. Let cool on the cookie sheets at least 10 minutes before removing.
