Preheat oven to 375

Mix butter, almond extract, and powdered sugar together in mixer

Add in pinch of salt

Sift in flour, and mix, it should resemble sand at this point

Slowly add in half and half to get a slightly better consistency

Mix in chocolate chips

Using your hands, form a ball

Use a rolling pin to roll dough out (unfloured surface)

Use a biscuit cutter or cookie cutter to cut out cookies

Put on cookie sheet and bake for about 6 minutes at 375. Do not brown

Remove from oven, leave on sheet 1 minute, then move to cooling rack

While cookies are cooling, melt your chocolate. I do this by putting it in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring between, until fully melted. Do not add liquid. If you overheat it, and it starts to clump, add in some shortening to get back to the right consistency.

Dip cookies partially in chocolate and sprinkle with slivered almonds

Let cool by putting in fridge for a couple of minutes

Enjoy!
