1 package (17-1/2 ounces) sugar cookie mix
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1/3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/3 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Transfer baked rectangles to a cutting board. Using a serrated knife, cut diagonally into 15 slices. Place on baking sheets, cut sides down.
Bake 8-10 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

These biscotti type cookies are easy and very tasty. I did have to add an additional egg (a total of 2 eggs). The dough was very dry before I did that and would not hold together. Definetely a recipe I will make again. These are great to give as a gift.
