Ingredients
  

  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp coarse salt
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Almond Buttercream Frosting see recipe below

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together butter and sugars with electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add salt, vanilla, and eggs; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Mix in flour and baking soda. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Spray mini-muffin tins thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray. Fill muffin cups with about 2 tbsp dough, slightly hollowing out the center. Bake cookies 7-9 minutes, or until lightly golden (do not overbake!)
  • Transfer cookies to wire racks. Let cool completely, then fill with frosting, using a pastry bag or sandwich bag with the corner tip cut off.
