ALMOND ROCA BARS
This is a recipe that I adopted and it is a little different than I expected. The bottom layer isn't really a cookie but it also isn't quite candy. I couldn't cut it into bars so I ended up breaking it isn't pieces instead. They taste really good and were very popular at the party I took them to. If you want more of a cookie bottom, I'd take them out at about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened to room temperature before creaming them together. This will help the cookies come together smoothly and evenly.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough, dry cookies.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly.
- Use a good quality chocolate for dipping the cookies. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
- Sprinkle the chocolate-dipped cookies with chopped nuts, toffee bits, or other toppings of your choice.
