Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.75 cup Sliced almonds
• 1 cup Chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Gently fold in the sliced almonds and chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 9

Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into 12 equal pieces and serve.
