Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt to combine evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and sliced almonds (if using) using a spatula.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. You can gently flatten the tops with the back of a spoon or your hand for more even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden (the centers will remain soft).
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
