Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Cream together the butter, crisco, and almond paste with the sugars in a large bowl

Add in both eggs, the vanilla, and the almond/amaretto flavoring; stir in

In another bowl shift together the flour, baking soda, and salt

Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until all is combined

Fold the chocolate chips into the batter

Drop by tablespoons or a cookie scoop the cookie dough onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet - I usually do 3 across and 4 down

Bake cookies for 8 to 10 minutes until they are slightly golden brown on the top

Remove from oven and drop the cookie sheet onto your counter or stove top to give that perfect crinkle

Leave cookies on the cookie sheet for 2 more minutes

Remove to cooling rack to cool completely
