 [I made these last night to pack for my trip to Reno.  Whatever you do,


 don't use creamy peanut butter!  With just 1/2 cup nut butter mixed with 2


 cups flour, the nut taste gets kind of lost. I used almond butter; we also


 used Cantbelieveitsnotbutter for the margarine. Don't round those Tbspfulls


 too high, as these cookies wind up a bit on the large size. I also forgot


 about flattening them out; oh well... What I have are chocolate chip


 cookies (mini-chips), with a faint almond flavor.]


 


 [If anyone knows of a BBS with the Cooking echo in Sparks or Reno NV,


 please let me know!  I'll be staying at the Peppermill hotel for about 2


 weeks, and may be able to modem out...]
