Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 1/4 cup of the almonds on a non-stick cookie sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes or until toasted and aromatic. Set aside. If you prefer you can just toast them quickly in a dry skillet or use almonds that have already been toasted.
- Line a 13×9 inch pan or other rimmed pan with parchment paper and set next to stove.
- Place butter, water and salt in a heavy bottomed (I use a nonstick anodized black pan), 2 or 3 quart saucepan and melt over medium heat. When butter is completely melted, add sugar. Set a deep fry thermometer in pan, being careful that bulb is not touching bottom of pan. Cook mixture over medium heat, stirring once or twice until it reaches 240 degrees F.
- At 240 degrees, add the remaining 1/2 cup sliced almonds to sugar mixture. After adding almonds, stir constantly, keeping heat at medium, until mixture reaches 290 degrees F. If temperature is not rising at a slow and steady rate, raise heat a tiny bit until mercury starts rising. (going from 240 to 290 should not take any longer than 13 minutes). When mixture reaches 290 degrees F (better a little above than below), immediately remove from heat and stir in baking soda. It will bubble a bit and the candy will develop air bubbles. Pour into parchment lined pan. The mixture should be kind of a bubbly blob at this point and if you are on track, the saucepan will be relatively clean after you've dumped the blob of candy onto the parchment. Mixture should begin to firm and butter may pool and separate, Do not pour off any excess butter if this happens, and don't panic if the toffee doesn't set immediately. If you cooked the toffee to 290, your candy should set. Sometimes it just takes longer.
- Scatter chopped chocolate across top of hot almond mixture and let chocolate melt into and over the candy as candy firms. Using back of a spoon, spread melted chocolate evenly over candy.
- Crush your toasted almonds and sprinkle over melted chocolate. Let candy cool for 1/2 hour at room temperature. Transfer to refrigerator or freezer and chill for about 1 hour to set the chocolate.
- When chocolate is set is set, lift candy from pan by grasping parchment. Break candy into large chunks.
- Makes about 10 ounces

Steps:
- 1. Spread crackers touching each other in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. OK to break some in order to completely fill the baking sheet.
- 2. Melt butter and sugar together in saucepan on medium-high heat until mixture comes to a full-rolling boil. Lower heat to medium and continue to cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- 3. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Stir in almonds. Pour mixture evenly over crackers. Caramel will even out completely as it bakes. Bake at 350 for about 7-8 minutes or until it looks "dry". Check often to make sure that the crackers on the edges don't burn. Cool and break apart.
Tips:
- Use a candy thermometer. This will help you ensure that the toffee reaches the right temperature and doesn't burn.
- Be careful when working with hot toffee. It can cause serious burns, so always wear gloves and protective clothing.
- Work quickly when assembling the cookies. The toffee will harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to get the cookies assembled before it sets.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Almond toffee cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich, buttery flavor and crunchy toffee topping, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
