Why You'll Love This Recipe
If you love chocolate and almond, you'll love these Glazed Almond Chocolate Chip Cookies! I use almond butter and almond extract for a deliciously chewy and nutty cookie. I add in semi sweet chocolate chips and then top these bad boys with my signature cookie glaze and chocolate sprinkles!
These cookies are chewy, chocolatey, and have a little nuttiness to them. They are the perfect compliment to a big glass of milk. Glazed cookies are my favorite kind of cookies, but be sure to let the glaze set before stacking them or they will stick together. My favorite way to do this is after they're glazed, I stick the whole cookie sheet in the freezer overnight. The next day, they are set, ready to eat and stack and store!

Why Organic
Why use organic ingredients in this recipe? You all know I’m a huge organic advocate, and I bet you may be thinking sometimes, Why would I even bother to use organic ingredients in something that is so sweet and indulgent? But, that is the exact reason why you should use organic ingredients! Sweet things need to have flavor in order to be good, otherwise they are just sweet and they don’t taste like much else. Organic ingredients are more pure than conventional ones, therefore they actually have more flavor than the non organic options. Say it with me, organic means more flavor! And not just more flavor but a more true and pure flavor. And organic ingredients are much healthier for you to eat in general as they do not contain GMOs or anything artificial. Plus, you are being environmentally friendly when you choose organic ingredients!
So, I highly recommend that you buy the best organic ingredients for this recipe! You can also shop my Amazon Storefront for all my favorite organic ingredients here. Tip – hover over each ingredient to see the name. And if you want to learn more about organic foods and the difference, read my post here on Food Labels and What They Mean.
