The taste and texture of this cookie is truly one of the best chocolate chip cookies I have made. It is a cookie that holds its shape (doesn't spread) and is chewy and thick. I followed the recipe exactly, but I did line the cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent even more spreading. The vanilla and almond extracts combo pushes this cookie to the top of my list. When you bite into the cookie it is crunchy on the outside and chewy inside. I will certainly make this again and again! Thanks Roxygirl in Colorado for a keeper!

These are really amazingly good CC cookies. I made as stated, didn't change a thing. I actually got a little over 4 doz. 2 1/2 inch cookies. Recipe was right on. I also used the extra 1/4 cup flour. I then asked my biggest critic ( 7 year old Grandson) and he said, "they are crunchy on the outside, but chewy in the middle", kinda blew me away. BUT THAT is the kind of CC cookie I've been looking for. Hubby downed 5 of them faster then they could cool. Will add this to my favorites book. Thank you for sharing.

These are absolutely the best chocolate chip cookies - crispy and chewy at the same time. I used margarine in place of the shortening and I just love the almond flavoring (so does my husband). I can't say enough for these - they are the only cookies I make anymore. I don't add the eggs, which makes it okay for you and the kids to eat all the dough you want and they taste great. Definitely five stars, if not more!!!! Thank you so much for posting these.

I love the texture of these cookies! I used the full 2 3/4 c of flour and I'm glad I did. They rose beautifully and held their shape so nicely. Thanks for sharing another great recipe!

Great, easy to prepare chocolate chip cookie recipe. I couldn't really tell the difference in taste from the addition of the almond extract but it certainly didn't didn't hurt the taste of this thick, extra chocolately cookie. I pressed one batch of my cookies down and I didn't like the texture of those cookies as much as the ones that were free form. They turned out much more crunchy if you press them out and I personally liked the chewier cookies better. The cookie batter was very tasty in itself. My BF loves tons of chips in his cookies so I purposely separated enough to dough to bake a few cookies without the chips in it for a treat for myself...and I loved them!!! Thanks for sharing!

Excellent cookie! I will alternate this recipe with the one I normally use that calls for vanilla pudding mix. Both recipes produce a crisp chewy cookie. I like the almond flavor.

This is truly a versatile and AMAZING recipe! I have made this recipe four times, and each time I have done something different, but it still tastes MAGNIFICENT!!! Variation 1. Using Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate Chips (I like it better then the semi-sweet chips) Variation 2. Using Plain M & M's (using about 2 cups but reserving 1/2 cup or so for topping cookies) Variation 3. Baking balls with out any chips, and then putting Macadmia Nut Kisses on top! Thank you for getting and sharing this recipe! I usually love to look for chocolate chip cookie recipes, but I think I am done searching for the perfect recipe!

This is a great recipe-- I added a little flour because I'm cooking at high altitude, and I used 3/4 butter, 1/4 shortening for flavor, as well as 1 c. brown sugar to 1/2 c. white. I didn't have any almond extract, but I'll try that next time. I made it for two different groups of friends and got rave reviews both times! They were gone in a flash!

LOVE these! They are so yummy, made these to take on a road trip to Nana's house, don't know if there will be any left by the time we get there! I've never made choc chip cookies with almond extract, the flavor is great, don't skip it. Thanks
