These are delicious cookies! We substituted coconut oil in place of the butter. Something I am completely in favour of. The coconut flavour is subtle but definitely adds a sweetness or some delicious quality to cookies. hehe.
The ground almonds in these cookies provide a nice nuttiness that is also subtle but takes these chocolate cookies to the next level. The level of awesomeness.
This recipe makes quite a lot of cookies so if you're in need of a cookie recipe for a bake sale or feel like going to town on some chocolate chip cookies, here's your recipe!
The recipe is supposedly "healthy" although I'm not sure how, I'll take it!

I love the twist you made here to make it your own chocolate chip cookie recipe. I think I'd also have to use virgin coconut oil instead of butter. I'm a huge cookie lover and I'd definitely try to bake this on weekend and try if VCO tastes better than butter when it comes to this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
