for the cookie base:

  1. In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or using an electric hand mixer) whip the butter for 1-2 minutes

  2. Scrape down the sides, add the sugars & cream until pale, light & fluffy (3-5 minutes)

  3. Scraping down the sides (again) add in the egg, and beat. Then vanilla & beat again.

    • if making the sweet cookies, add the almond extract here as well

  4. In a medium bowl whisk together the dry ingredients until combined.

  5. With the mixer on low, and using a large spoon, gradually add the dry to the wet, mixing until just combined.

  6. Add in your toppings, reserving a few to strategically place before baking.

  7. Using a cookie scoop (or a spoon, or your hands) scoop out dough onto a lined baking sheet.

  8. Place in the fridge for at least 5-10 minutes, or freeze them off to bake at a later date

  9. Pre-heat the oven to 350 & bake for 7-11 minutes depending on the size of your cookies
