  7. Roll into balls, press slightly and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet a few inches apart.
  8. Top the cookies with extra choc chips, almonds and a sprinkling of salt.

Notes

  • Use high-quality ingredients:
  •  The better the ingredients, the better the cookie. Use top-quality chocolate, almonds, and butter. 
  • Toast almonds:
  •  Toasting them before adding them to the almond chocolate cookies will give them a nuttier flavour and crunch. 
  • Don't overmix:
  •  Mix the ingredients until just combined. Over-mixing can toughen the dough and lead to dry cookies. 
  • Use room temperature ingredients: 
  • Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. Room temperature ingredients incorporate much better than cold ones. 
  • Chill the dough:
  •  Chilling the dough for at least fifteen minutes before baking can help prevent spreading and make better-formed cookies. 
  • Shape the dough:
  •  Roll it into balls and press them slightly to create a flatter cookie shape.
