Next, add the egg and beat the mixture once again.
Add the vanilla extract next and mix again.
Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl.
Transfer the dry ingredients mixture into the wet mixture and combine until it becomes a dough.

In the meantime, pre-heat the oven to 350F.
Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Place one scoop of the dough into the baking tray. Make as many scoops as you can.
Press the scoops lightly with your fingers. Put almond slivers on top
Bake the cookies at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until they are done.
Take the tray out of the oven and let the cookies cool down for at least 15 minutes. This will harden them and provide the cookie texture.
