1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup walnuts, chopped
Recipe
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and almond extract.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in sifter. Gradually add to butter mixture; mixing well. Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. Divide into two portions and form into 1-1/2" diameter 9" long logs. Place 2" apart on prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on sheet 1 hour.
Reduce oven to 325 degrees. Slice rolls into 1/2" diagonal slices. Place slices, cut side down, on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 5 to 6 minutes, turn and bake another 5 to 6 minutes more or until cookies are dry and crisp (do not overbake).
