These did not come out at all as expected. They were not fluffy at all. They were very soft but not at all what I expected. Any tips???

My family really enjoyed these. I did add a handful of white chocolate chips and cut back on the almond extract a bit. They come out fluffy and sweet.

I'm sorry but this recipe did not do a whole lot for me. I put a cherry on top and while the cookie does have a good flavor it's just not what I expected. I probably would not make this again, but someone else may absolutely love it.
