ALMOND ROCA BAR COOKIES

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:
- Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them cream together smoothly and create a light and fluffy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- 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 make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate set properly and prevent it from melting.
- Use a good quality chocolate for dipping. This will make a big difference in the taste of the cookies.
