coconutcream's Note:

I tweaked a chocolate chip recipe and came up with this soft, tasty treat. The almond flavor is relatively subtle, but still present.

I made these exactly as posted. I did use the mini chocolate chips. These cookies are outstanding. I made a batch to give to a friend and had to make another batch for myself.
