Ultimate White Chocolate Almond Delight Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 package (3.4 oz) cheesecake pudding mix
- 1 package (3.4 oz) lemon pudding mix
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking. This will take approximately PT10M
10 minutes.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup packed brown sugar until creamy and smooth. This should take about PT3M
3 minutes.
3. Add the Wet Ingredients
Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Mix well until fully combined, approximately PT2M
2 minutes.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and the contents of both the cheesecake and lemon pudding mixes until evenly distributed.
5. Mix Everything Together
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring continuously until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which should take about PT3M
3 minutes. Finally, fold in 2 cups of white chocolate chips.
6. Prepare Baking Sheets
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This ensures cookies bake evenly and do not stick to the pan.
7. Shape the Cookies
Using a tablespoon, scoop the cookie dough and drop onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
8. Bake the Cookies
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 11-13 minutes (PT11M-PT13M) until the cookies are lightly golden at the edges but still soft in the center.
9. Cool and Serve
Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (approximately PT5M). Enjoy!
