This snack combines butter and chocolate chips with sliced almonds for a nutty, savory flavor. Rather than kneading roughly, mix the dough with a cutting motion so the cookies bake up crispy instead of tough. Baked in a 180°C oven for 15 to 20 minutes, it is easy even for beginners to complete.

Instead of almonds, you can also finely chop peanuts or walnuts and add them.
