Almond chocolate chip cookies

I had a ravenous, RAVENOUS chocolate chip cookies craving yesterday.

Sometimes you just want a warm , chewy, freshly baked, crispy almond chocolate chip cookies.

Because sometimes you don't need a whole dozen . You just need something fast and easy and devour in one sitting or to share with someone special without the pressure or ten other cookies lying around.

Tha fact that they're amazing delicious cookies.
You can do anything with them. It's like life! Throw in nuts and chocolate chips or crushed oreo.

Twix it together , All the above.

Just the thing you've been yearning for?
Chewy, crispy...cookies!

Absolutely scrumptious..
I have a major weakness for cookies and cake. I can easily demolish it...

 This is the entire batch.
