Ingredients

1 cup butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup chocolate chips

whole almonds

Cream butter, sugar and extract until light.
Add flour and mix just until dough begins to hold together, and then mix in chocolate chips.
Roll dough into 1 1/2 - 2 inch round balls and place, spacing them about an inch or two apart, on a baking sheet.
Press whole almond into top.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes at 300F, or until cookies begin to very lightly brown.

Makes 24-30 cookies.

Christmas cookies are far too easy to overconsume. The original recipe did not have an oven temperature. Similar cookies are baked at around 300F.
