These were good, but I didn't think they were that great. I have had better. I didn't care for the crispier texture, it may be the shortening or the sugars. It may just be my preference in how I like my cookies. I don't think I would make these again.

Just a delicious cookie recipe. Instead of the almond brickle chips, I used Skor toffee bits. Yummy! Thanks for the recipe Aimee.

These cookies were small (using one teaspoon scoop) and don't look anything like the picture--mine has very little batter...but they are delicious...

Made with my 3 year old girl - after finishing almost the entire batch ourselves we have decided to make another batch for her older siblings!

Wow! Amazing cookies!! I didn't have mini chocolate chips so I used 1 & 1/2 cups of regular size chips. I also used homemade toffee ("Best Toffee Ever - Super Easy") instead of the almond brickle chips and they turned out great!

Absolutely delicious cookies, I just wanted to make this tip: if you are like me and generally swap butter for shortening in recipes, don't this time! I tried and my cookies were completely flat. When I used the amount of shortening outlined in the recipe they came out perfect. I know that it usually doesn't make a difference, but if you use butter instead of shortening in this recipe you will regret it! When done correctly these are excellent!

OH MY GOD!! I just finished baking a batch of these and they are AMAZING! Easy to make and absolutely delicious! I did bake them a little longer than the recipe called for. Closer to 12min, because they didn't look done at 9min

I thought these were very good but I will use all butter instead of shortening next time (personal preference). Everyone I made the cookies for though thought that they were amazing! Thanks for a yummy and easy recipe!

These are so yummy! Best cookies ever! A little sweet even though I used a little less than the 1 cup of brown sugar called for. I also used Heath toffee bits insted of the almond chips.

Just finished baking these delicious cookies!! Mine turned out crispy around the edges and soft and chewy in the middle. They did not flatten out as someone else described. Perhaps because I modified recipe slighty. I used 11.5 oz bag of toll house choc chunks instead of chips and an 8 oz bag of heath bar pieces instead of almond brittle. Wonderful, thank you!!

Pretty good cookies - mine turned out really flat, I'll probably add a little more flour next time. I also used Heath milk chocolate toffee bits. Will experiment further! Thanks!!!

These tuned out delicious, eventhough i didn't do it right. Accidentally took the almond extract instead of the vanilla. Added almost a teaspoon. Then i smelled the extract and chekced the bottle again. Made em anyways, no white chocolate tho, just semisweet and milk chocolate chips. They were just awesome. Reminded me of a subwaycookie. So will try them next time with white chocolate and some macadamia nuts. Update: made em with the vanilla. They were kind of bland, will only use almond from now on. Update2: did this recipe change?

One thumb up from my husband (one hand was holding a plate of cookies and a glass of milk or it would have been 2 thumbs)! Thanks, Kez, for recommending these to us! They were delicious!
