Chocolate Chip Almond Toffee Cookies

I have been looking for almond paste everywhere! When I finally managed to get my hands on some, I lost the recipe where I want to use it! Silly me I know...for the mean time when I'm still searching for that coveted cake that suppose to taste like Almond Joy. I stumbled upon Two Peas and their Pod while I was doing my daily for now these cookies will suffice me, actually it's more than enough. For these I bring out the big guns, the precious and expensive almond paste and the Heath bits I found in the supermarket aisle during one of my late night supermarket binge.

NYC's Milk & Cookies Bakery

I'm a huge sucker for cookbooks written by famous bakeries from the US, UK or even Down under. I'm curious what these bakeries offers that makes them quite popular and have a huge followers.  I think one of the reason why I often buy those "bakery" books is that each bakeries has it's own quirks that makes their goods special and I want to see what does are and I get to apply their different techniques and make it my own great cookie! :D
