Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 180 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 50 grams chopped almonds
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the almond extract and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Divide the dough into 20 equal portions. Roll each portion into a 3-inch log to form the finger shapes, and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Add the milk if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
Once the cookies are fully cooled, dip one end of each cookie into the melted chocolate, then sprinkle the chocolate-coated area with chopped almonds.
Place the dipped cookies on a sheet of parchment paper until the chocolate sets. You can speed up the process by placing them in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Chip Dipped Almond Fingers with a warm drink or as an elegant snack!
