Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips and sliced almonds.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving enough space between each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but centers are still soft. Allow to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
