Ingredients

• 170 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 50 grams light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams slivered almonds
• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.

Step 6

Fold in the slivered almonds to ensure they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cookies cool, melt the dark chocolate and vegetable oil together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until smooth.

Step 11

Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate and place them on a piece of parchment paper to set.

Step 12

Let the chocolate-dipped cookies rest until the chocolate hardens completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Dipped Almond Cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
