Chocolate Chip Almond Cookies
Everyone loves chocolate chip cookies. Here is how to make them even better by adding almonds! If you love chocolate bars with almonds, you will love these cookies. They are quite quick and easy to make.
An added benefit of these cookies are that they are higher in protein. Would you rather skip the cookies and eat high protien cookie dough instead (something I love to do)? Try this cottage cheese cookie dough for a tasty protein boost.
If you want the sugar look on top as in the photos, simply sprinkle some sugar on top before baking. I actually prefer them without it though.
Tasty, tasty stuff! Although chocolate chip cookies are arguably kind of a diet killer, A bonus of these cookies are they are relatively high in protein because of the almonds. I like to eat these after running!
