Prep. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the dry ingredients. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
Add the wet ingredients. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the butter, egg, almond extract, and vanilla extract.
Mix it all together. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until everything is just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Add the chocolate chips. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
Bake. Drop the dough in 1 ½ inch clumps onto the prepared cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each. Bake for 10 minutes (see note).
Top. Upon pulling the cookies out of the oven, top them with the remaining chocolate chips. They will melt beautifully into the warm cookies.
Notes
These cookies have a hard time flattening. So, unless you want slightly puffy cookies, use a flat-bottomed glass or the back of a metal measuring cup to lightly press the cookies down halfway through the baking time.
