White Chocolate Chip Cookies... My Way

Tonight I was in the mood to bake! I bought a package of Essentia White Chocolate Chips that had a yummy-looking recipe on the back of the package, so I decided to give it a try. I tweaked the recipe just a tad....it originally calls for vanilla extract, but I used almond. I also added extra flour to make it a bit thicker and fluffier, and I left the chopped nuts out. The recipe has oats in it, so its more like an oatmeal white chocolate chip cookie, with a hint of almond! Mmmm!
