Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced almonds, sugar, butter, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until the mixture is melted and well combined, about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the flour and baking soda until fully incorporated.
Drop teaspoon-sized amounts of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart, as they will spread while baking.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place them back on the wire rack to set.
Let the chocolate harden completely before serving.
