Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Fold in the slivered almonds to ensure they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
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.
Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate and place them on a piece of parchment paper to set.
Let the chocolate-dipped cookies rest until the chocolate hardens completely, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Chocolate Dipped Almond Cookies, or store them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
