Today is Wednesday that means another MOPS meeting. Unfortunately I could not make it today 
but that won’t stop me from sharing with you the cookies I made for today’s meeting.
but that won’t stop me from sharing with you the cookies I made for today’s meeting.

Everyone has a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe. Some like the cookie gooey some like it crunchy. We like them both ways, but prefer the crunchy ones. Now, to get the crunchy bite I add nuts to the batter. Depending on what I have in the house it can be peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia or almonds, like I did yesterday.
It was the first time I added slivered almonds. They turned out perfect. I rarely use the chocolate – almonds combo, most of the time I’ve used hazelnuts and chocolate – stop dreaming about Nutella – peanuts and chocolate – who doesn’t love this combo- and sometimes walnuts and macadamia.
If you have never tried almonds and chocolate it’s time you do so, trust me, you’re not going to be disappointed.
I’ve never been good at Maths and yesterday I proved it. Instead of making a batter for at least 3 dozen cookies I only made 2 dozens. Now, since we are around 20 or even more sometimes at the meeting I had to keep my husband away form the cookies. Now imagine his sorrow when I told him this morning I’m not going to the meeting and he can enjoy some cookies with his coffee.
Let’s turn the oven on and start baking.

These cookies are looking like cute bombs waiting to explode with chocolate inside the mouth… very delicious looking
Chocolate chip cookies are my all time favorite dessert! Yours look AMAZING! I really feel like I need to go to the store now and buy chocolate chips so I can make some
Have a good day!
I like the addition of almonds in your chocolate chip cookies and I also like the bright red ribbon woven through the white dish. I'm sure your cookies were a big hit at the meeting. The new site is beautiful, congratulations and I hope it works out well as your new home;-)
Your cookies would be like eating a Hershey bar with almonds….one of my favorites. I cannot wait to try this out.
I'll take the combo with any nut type any time. I however, never made them with those chunkier almond slivers…hmmm, nest time for sure.
Roxana, I get the feeling that both our Hubbies are terribly spoiled in the sweets department ;o)
Flavourful wishes,
Claudia
They look delicious & almonds with choca chip sounds yummyyyyyyyyyy
These sound and look so delicious! What a great idea to include almonds.

I love almonds and chocolate together, but hadn't tried adding almonds to chocolate chip cookies before. Of course this is delicious! Yours look perfect.
YOu don't see many cookie recipes with almonds in them. I think that chocolate and almond go together perfectly!
I'll make a batch with the kids over the kids so they can bring them on Monday to their teacher. Your cookies look scrumptious!
Coming to think of it, I don't think I've ever tried adding almonds to chocolate chip cookies. I'll have to try it! They look great.
You can never have too many chocolate chip cookies! I feel the need to bake more!!
Cum am devenit in ultima vreme amorezata de migdale, mai mult decat nucile si fisticul, trebuie sa incerc acest dulce. In acest weekend ma duc intr-o vizita, unde ar da excelent acest cadou homemade. Vasul, cu panglica rosie m-a dat pe spate. Imi place foarte mult. Felicitari pentru tot, reteta si prezentarea speciala!
I love little chubby cookies like those…they look so moist and full of yummy! Gorgeous pics!
I've never added slivered almonds to chocolate chip cookies before…but I love the idea! These look perfect
Warm and moist cookies perfect for a cup of tea. Your plate was super cute, I love it.
Oh Roxana-gorgeous cookies! They are full of so much yumminess. I wish I had a few now with a hot cup of tea;)Beautiful.
I love the combination of almonds and chocolate. I will definitely try this recipe soon in the future!
Btw, I love your step by step photos(:
I just adore that plate you used for your pictures. It really makes your cookies stand out and grab my attention. Chocolate chip and almond sounds like a delicious combo for a cookie.
Roxane, there u go tempting me…..God!!this is too perfect…I am going to try this and yes we both have something in common…poor maths..lol…
Cookies look awesome and lovely presentation
hi Roxana
what a gorgeous cookie!! they do look so tempting, I can understand how your husband felt when you told him he could eat them….overjoyed was probably an understatement!
Your images are beautiful, I can really see a big improvement in them, I don't know what your doing but keep it up!
Cheers

Roxana,
Your cookie photos are beautiful!!! I love nuts in my cccs, but I'd get a rebellion from my family. I'm thinking I need to put a few almonds into some of the cookies and reserve them for me
I usually leave out the nut but I never thought about almonds. I want to see how they work. Thanks for the idea and recipe.
These look perfect! I love how you included that picture of the inside of the cookie…it made me drool. I love almonds and chocolate, so I'm sure these would be a hit. Thank you for sharing such a delicious recipe. Your kind words on my blog brighten my day…I hope your weekend is full of joy and love!
Roxana-I'm with you…I also love crunchy and soft and chewy cookies. Both ways are great. Love your version of the chocolate chip cookies, and the photos, especially the beautiful white platter with the sweet red bow woven through it!
I love gooey and crunchier cookies both…These look so good
And your photos are gorgeous, of course!
Love the combinations!
I know this questions is a biiiit late but, is it okay if I added a little bit of cocoa powder to make it look…chocolatey? Thanks and you've got some wonderful looking cookies there!
