Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven: 180°C / 160°C (fan) / Gas Mark 4 / 350°F
  • Melt the butter (microwave for 30-60secs) and stir in the sugars until smooth.
  • Lightly beat the egg and add this to the slightly cooled butter mix along with the vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
  • Add the ground almonds to the mix and stir until smooth.
  • Sieve the baking powder into the mixture and then add the chocolate chips to the sieve. Sift the cornflour through this into the mixture to coat the chips.
  • Set the chocolate chips to one side and fold the sifted flour and powder into the mixture.
  • Add the whiskey to the mixture and stir until smooth.
  • Stir in flour-coated chocolate chips until spread evenly throughout.
  • Pour the cookie mix into a lined 8inch square tin, smoothing it out evenly, before sprinkling the flaked almonds on top and baking for 20-25mins, or until there is only a slight wobble in the centre and it has a crispy top.
  • Remove the cookie bars from the oven, and sprinkle the sea salt over the top, before allowing them to cool and cutting them into squares.

Notes

  • This is a gluten-free recipe, but always check the label on your ingredients for cross-contamination and other allergen warnings.
