White Chocolate Almond Cookies

I took my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie from this site Delicious Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies and decided to change it up a bit.Please feel free to adjust the amount of chips and almonds to your own tastes.These cookies are so soft,chewy and so delicious.Grab a glass of milk or a cup of tea and a few cookies and relax. :)The amount of cookies you get will depend on how large you make them.To make clean-up easier I use cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, which I've lightly greased.Just remember these cookies are supposed to be on the soft side.Cooking time is for each tray cookies.Submitted on 12 /3 /10
