Chocolate Topped Almond Oat Slice

Directions

1. Step 1 complete

   Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with 2 alternating strips of parchment paper long enough to reach the top of the pan (this will make the cookies easy to remove and cut after baking).

2. Step 2 complete

   Place butter in a large bowl and stir to soften. Stir in brown sugar, extract and eggs. Add almond flour, oats, baking soda and salt and stir well.

3. Step 3 complete

   Spread in prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Turn oven off and immediately sprinkle chocolate chips over the top; place back in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes or until chips are melted; gently spread over the surface.

4. Step 4 complete

   Let cool completely before pulling up the parchment paper to remove cookies
   from pan. Place on a cutting board and fold down parchment. Dip a long
   knife into very hot water and dry with a paper towel; cut into 12 rectangular slices, dipping in water and wiping drying with a paper towel
   in between cuts as needed. Makes 12 cookies.
