Great cookies, although I didn't have any almonds, I used chopped peanuts and that worked fine. They were crunchy on the out side and soft in the centre ... Perfect. Made heaps, but were gone in less than a day lol<br/><br/>Made for Au/NZ swap 44,

Chocolately Good! I added 1/2 cup slivered almonds for crunchiness and baked them for 8 minutes at 375 degrees. Turned out perfect. For the chocoholics! Prepared as a participant in the Aus/NZ 2008 Swap #22 Event. Thanks for sharing, Sarah!
