TRIPLE CHOCOLATE-ALMOND EXPLOSION COOKIES
When published in "Vive Le Vegan" by Dreena Burton, these were called double chocolate, but since there are really three forms of chocolateyness I thought I'd better change the title :-) Otherwise, however, these cookies are pure, perfect decadence... they just beg to be shared with the world! (I highly recommend buying Dreena's book for more of the same experiences!) Note: My picture is of what I made my dad for Fathers' Day. :-) It took about a third of the whole recipe and was like a jumbo brownie-cookie! MMm-mm!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Stir together the first first 8 dry ingredients, RESERVING 2 Tbsp of the almond slivers (be sure to sift the cocoa and baking powder/soda!).
- In a separate bowl, combine the maple syrup, extracts and oil.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry, and stir just until well combined (don't overmix!)
- Spoon the batter onto a nonstick or parchment-lined sheet. For each mound, take a few chocolate chips and a few of the remaining almond slivers and press into the top of each cookie, flattening slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or just until gloden around the edges (any longer may let them dry out). Let cool for 1 minute on the sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack.

TRIPLE ALMOND COOKIES
I love almond flavor - in anything! I came up with these cookies about 20 years ago when I was trying to figure out what to do with almond paste... I figured it out! These are really good, but a little pricy because of the almond paste. (Be sure to use almond paste, not almond filling).
