Mmmmmm these are a great variation on the traditional chocolate chip cookie! I would definitely double the amaretto (personal preference) and maybe cut the almond extract back a tad, since I found it overpowering the amaretto a little. Thanks for sharing!! UPDATE: I halved the almond extract and doubled the amaretto, and trust me, the almond is definitely the strong flavor everyone is tasting. I could barely taste the amaretto, but the amount of extract was perfect. I'll be doing 4x the amaretto next time!

These are very good! I made them for the holidays, and while DH was skeptical (he's the biggest choc chip cookie fan ever) even he was impressed! I healthed 'em up a little bit, though. I used 3/4 c Smart Balance, 1/2 c brown sugar, egg substitute (that's just so I can eat the dough LOL!), and subbed extra amaretto for the almond extract. I don't like coconut, so I left that out as well. With my changes these came out to 70 cals per TBSP dough. Not too shabby! Thanks for posting!!
