Chocolate chewy cookies

Been long time want to try baking chewy cookies but only yesterday manage to make it when there is a request from princess A. She was craving for cookies at night 9pm and if the ingredient not enough, it is also too late to go to supermarket.
So after checking the ingredient on this recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chewy-Chocolate-Cookies-I/Detail.aspx?event8=1&prop24=SR_Thumb&e11=chocolate%20chewy%20cookie&e8=Quick%20Search&event10=1&e7=Home%20Page&soid=sr_results_p1i1 I decided to make it.

Here is the original recipe (source from allrecipes.com):
Ingredients     1 1/4 cups butter, softened
    2 cups white sugar
    2 eggs
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
    In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the chocolate chips. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
    Bake 8 to 9 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies will be soft. Cool slightly on cookie sheet; remove from sheet onto wire rack to cool completely.

And here is the one that I modified:

(In the modified recipe, i use more butter, mix flour with wholemeal flour, slightly lower the sugar and omit the vanilla extract and chocolate chips.)
Modified Ingredients:
250gr unsalted butter, softened
250gr sugar
2 eggs
220gr all-purpose flour
40gr wholemeal flour
96gr natural unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
sliced almond

Directions:
same with the original recipe except instead of mix in the sliced almond into the creamed mixture, i put the sliced almond on top of it.



Here is the result:

Yummy...
