These cookies can be all yours in under an hour ? all you need is a few basic chocolate chip cookie ingredients and that one special ingredient for the centers:
The secret is that, right before baking, you open up each cookie dough ball and press a ball of Odense Almond Paste into the center before rolling it back up and baking in the oven. The result is that they will look like your average chocolate chip cookies on the outside? but take one bite, and you are greeted with a surprise gooey almond filling that compliments the melty chocolate and soft cookie so well that these might just become your newest favorite chocolate chip cookies! Using actual almond paste instead of just almond extract in recipes yields results with a wonderfully rich flavor and soft texture.

Use it anywhere you want that classic marzipan or almond paste flavor? in cake...
