Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
Fold in sliced almonds and chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 10–13 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
