ALMOND ROCA BAR COOKIES

This is the original recipe that I've had since about 1980 and have always loved. I've seen lots of similar recipes that use double the flour. This (original recipe) produces cookies with a thinner crust, which I like because the cookies have a distinct caramel tone that taste like Almond Roca candy. The recipes with double the...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray (i use bakers joy for this recipe)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp almond extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (see note in recipe intro)
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (note: a 12oz bag has about 2 cups chips, and i usually use the entire bag for more chocolate flavor, but the original recipe called for 1 1/2 cups of chips)
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 11x15-inch baking sheet (or jelly roll pan) with nonstick spray.
  • 2. Blend brown sugar, white sugar, butter and egg yolk until well combined. Add flour, salt and almond extract, and mix well.
  • 3. Add dough to baking sheet, and spread into even layer. Bake in oven for 25 minutes.
  • 4. Immediately after removing baking sheet from oven, spread chips over the hot cookie base. As the chips melt, use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cookies base. Sprinkle the almonds on top while chocolate is still warm and melted. Let it cool completely (so chocolate is solid) before cutting into 24 bar cookies. NOTE: If I use the entire 12oz bag of chips, sometimes I'll place the baking sheet back in the warm oven for about 1 to 2 minutes to help the chips melt faster. If you do this though, you'll want to watch closely because you don't want it to scorch.

Tips:

  • Use Cold Butter: Cold butter is easier to work with and will help your cookies hold their shape better.
  • Cream the Butter and Sugar: Creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy is essential for creating a tender cookie.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make your cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the flavors to develop and also makes the dough easier to handle.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven will affect the texture of your cookies. Be sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Let the Cookies Cool: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them to set and firm up.
