These cookies are YUMMY!!! I bake cookies often and these are headed for my favorites file. I used toasted slivered almonds roughly chopped as that's what I had on hand, I'll try pecans next time.

Yummy. They seem to go with anything. Coffee, tea, wine (!). They were a hit at my investment club meeting.

Hard to go back to a regular chocolate chip cookie after eating these!! This is a GREAT recipe that delivers the perfect cookie - crispy around the edges, chewy in the middle and a flavor that can't be beat.

Udually when I read a low-carb recipe, the sugar count is as low as it can be. This count cannot be right.

Delicious! Great flavor combination, and I really like the use of milk chocolate chips in this recipe. This is going into my "favorites" file.

I made these for a niece's beach wedding rehearsal. They turned out wonderful and reminded me so much of an Almond Joy bar. Will always be on my favorite cookie list!

I love this recipe. I usually bake one pan full and then freeze the rest of the dough, by dropping spoonfuls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. When they are frozen, I pop all of the dough into a gallon size freezer bag. I love how easy it is to make cookies any time I want--I can just pop a few cookies out of the freezer and into the oven.

The best Cookies ever!

I only had 1 teas. of vanilla left so, I used 2 teas. of Almond essence. Delicious!
