Amaretto Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract pure
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup whole almonds toasted and chopped
- 3 pints vanilla ice cream softened slightly
- 1 cup amaretto liqueur
- Finely chop the oats in a food processor. Mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until fluffy. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl.
- Beat in the eggs and extracts.
- Add the flour mixture in three parts and stir just until blended.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and chopped almonds.
- Drop 1 rounded tablespoonful of dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheets, spacing 1-inch apart (do not flatten dough).
- Slide into a preheated oven at 325 degrees. Bake until the cookies are golden (cookies will flatten slightly), about 13 minutes.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.
- Place the softened ice cream in a large bowl. Mix in the amaretto. Cover the ice cream mixture and freeze until firm, at least 3 hours.
- Make the sandwiches! Arrange the cookies, flat side up, on a baking sheet. Top each with a scoop of ice cream, then another cookie, flat side down, pressing slightly to adhere. Enjoy!
- You can cover and freeze the sandwiches for at least 3 hours if you want them firmer. Sandwiches can be made up to 4 days ahead. Wrap each sandwich with plastic wrap and keep frozen. The cookies also can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
