Chocolate Clouds

Sarabeth's Bakery: Recipe 1

These are chocolate chip cookies with toasted sliced almonds. I suppose they are called chocolate clouds because they are airy. Sarabeth tells you beforehand that these cookies will be crunchy, and that too is true: airy crunchy. But after eating a well-cooled cookie, Paul and I realized we do not prefer our chocolate chips cookies to be crunchy, and even if we did we would not like these. So they will never get made again. The flavor combination of the cookie is okay, it worked, but I think nearly anyone would be disappointed. A more descriptive and accurate name for these cookies would be Fresh Stalies, because they never tasted fresh or pleasant to eat, and they are hard and dry. Truly glad I only made a half batch.
