  2. I love the way these cookies look! Who can resist a pretty chocolate chip cookie? Not me. I know what you mean about summer. It seems to fly by but winter just goes on and on. i hate cold weather....

  3. They look delicious! How neat that you added almond extract. I love to add that, along with vanilla, to my peanut butter cookies. I think people forget that a dab really adds a nice touch.

    1. I really like the flavor of almond extract... I know a lot of people don't enjoy it though. I'll have to try adding it to PB cookies!

  4. Ugh! Don't start talking about fall yet. Especially don't talk about pumpkin spice lattes!

    Talk about cookies all you want. I'm way into these. Now I need a bunch of dessert occasions so I can make these cookies and your brownies.

  5. This might be the first time I am not looking forward to fall since last winter was so bad. I'm with you on the pumpkin spice lattes...in fact, I bet it would pair well with those cookies (which look wonderful).
