Chicken Legs had to go out of town last week for training, so I decided to surprise him with some cookies when he got home.  (I'm not really that nice; I was bored hanging out by myself with the cats and needed something to do.)  I looked in the pantry and saw that I had sliced almonds and toffee bits.  I decided to make almond toffee chocolate chip cookies.  It was the perfect for us because it combined my love of almonds and Chicken Legs love of cookies.

These cookies are wonderful!  We absolutely loved them!  You can really taste the almond extract in them, but it isn't overwhelming.  It was perfect - in my opinion.  We loved the crunch from the toffee and almonds.  We ate way too many of these.  I shared a few with some people at work and they didn't take any home to share with their family.  I think that says it all....
