Pulse almonds in food processor until finely chopped. Whisk together ¼ cup of almonds, the flour, ginger, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl; reserve remaining almonds in shallow bowl.

With electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat granulated sugar, brown sugar, and butter in large bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg and almond extract; beat until mixed well.
