1 1/2 cups
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream together butter and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until combined . Mix in vanilla, then with mixer set on low speed slowly add in flour and salt mixture and mix just until combined. Add in chocolate chips and almonds and mix to evenly distribute . Bake in preheated oven 10 - 12 minutes until bottoms are lightly golden brown. Let cool for just a few minutes then pour remaining 1 cup powdered sugar into a small mixing bowl. Dip and roll cookies in powdered sugar to get a light coating then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat process with remaining cookie dough. Once cookies are cool roll again in powdered sugar, this time giving them a thicker coating. Store cookies in an airtight container.
