Equipment

Ingredients

3/4 cup sliced almonds
6 T brown sugar
1.5 T all purpose flour
3 T butter unsalted
1 T light corn syrup
1/4 t vanilla
1 pinch salt
4 oz milk chocolate

Instructions

Make Dough

Pulse the almonds in a food processor until finely chopped.
3/4 cup sliced almonds
Combine almonds, flour, and salt in a medium bowl.
1.5 T all purpose flour, 1 pinch salt
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, and corn syrup.
6 T brown sugar, 3 T butter, 1 T light corn syrup
Bring to a boil while stirring occasionally, to completely dissolve the sugar.
Let boil for about a minute, remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
1/4 t vanilla
Pour the mixture into the almond bowl, and stir to combine.
Set aside for about a half hour, to cool.

Bake

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Line cookie trays with parchment paper.
Using a teaspoon, scoop batter one teaspoon at a time onto the parchment paper.
Roll into balls, and place with at least 2-3 inches of space between each cookie, as they will spread while baking.
Bake one pan at a time, for 8-10 minutes, or until flat and a golden brown color.
Cool on the baking pan for a few minutes, and transfer to a wire rack.

Chocolate Filling

Once all cookies are baked, place 4 oz of good quality milk chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave on 50% power for one minute.
4 oz milk chocolate
Remove and stir, and heat for additional 30 second increments until melted.
Match each cookie with a similar sized pair.
Flip one cookie over, spoon some melted chocolate on, spread around, and place the other cookie one top.
Set aside to cool and set.

Store

Store in an air-tight container. You may want to place parchment paper between cookies if you are stacking them.
