Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and achieve that perfect golden-brown color.
Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Sheets - Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This prevents the cookies from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
Step 4: Cream Butter and Sugars - In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 5: Add Egg and Vanilla - Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 6: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 7: Stir in Oats, Chocolate, Cocoa Nibs, and Almonds - Fold in the old-fashioned oats, dark chocolate chips, cocoa nibs, and chopped cinnamon roasted almonds.
Step 8: Portion the Dough - Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Step 9: Bake - Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
Step 10: Cool - Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
