1. Melt the butter and let it cool down a bit. Chop the almonds and chocolate coarsely and set aside.

2. Add the sugar and melted butter to a large bowl and mix until very light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well. Combine the flour with baking powder and salt and add to the bowl – mix until just combined. Add the chopped almonds and chocolate and fold in. Place the dough in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes.

3. Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Use a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, place dough portions with enough space in between on the baking sheet. Press some roasted almonds into the dough (optional) and bake the cookies for about 12 minutes or until the edges are set but the centers of the cookies are still a bit soft. Take them out of the oven and let them cool down on the baking sheet for some time, then transfer them to a wire rack and let them cool down completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
