Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups slivered almonds, grind ½ cup
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2/3 cup Dutch cocoa powder (I used Cacao Bliss because that's what I had on hand.)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 sticks butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350F. Pull out a baking sheet and cover with a piece of parchment or a silicone baking mat. In a stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until fluffy and light. Add eggs, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and almond extracts.
  • In a medium bowl, stir together ½ cup ground almonds, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to butter mixture, combining thoroughly. Mix in chocolate chips and slivered almonds
  • Scrape bowl out onto baking tray. Form an approximate 12 inch x 1 ½ inch log down the center of the tray and smooth out the top. 
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. (Do not scorch bottom.) Cool for 1 minute then slice into 15 slices. 
  • Let cool and serve. Freeze what you don’t eat and use over the next month or so.
