Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat oven to 375°F. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt in a large bowl on medium-high speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour, mixing until just incorporated.
-
Step 2.
Transfer dough to a large piping bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe dough into 2-inch logs onto baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
-
Step 3.
Bake until deep golden brown around edges, 12 to 18 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to cooling racks to cool completely.
-
Step 4.
While cookies cool, melt bittersweet chocolate and finely chop almond slivers. When cookies are cool, brush one end of each cookie with melted chocolate, then coat in almonds. Transfer to a piece of parchment paper and let set until chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
