Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Imagine, if you will, wonderful chocolate chip cookies. 

Cookies that are pillowy and soft on the inside, chewy and delightful.
Cookies with a satisfyingly crisp edge, full of delicious dark chocolate morsels.
Chocolate chip cookies that have just a little extra oomph to them.

Cookies made with almond butter.
Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are some of the best cookies, ever. I know I say that fairly often, but it's true!! The almond butter was surprisingly subtle (so much so that, when I asked Michael if he noticed anything special he made a face and asked, "Browned Butter?" I thought the flavor was more distinct than that, but then again, I made them). I felt like the almond butter flavor was more present the fresher they were, but with or without the cookies taste amazing. I really really did love what the almond butter flavor added, though. I really want them again, now. Oh boy, so yummy. You should make some homemade almond butter, then make these cookies! Yes. Yes, that is a grand idea. :D
