Turrón chip cookies

And again another recipe with turrón ^w^ This time I used a basic recipe for chocolate chip cookies and replaced the vanilla extract with almond extract and the chocolate chips with turrón chips.
I made these cookies for a charity baking sale and they had a good acceptance :-) People said that they tasted kind of like marzipan, I guess that's because of the almond extract...

Ingredients (for around 30 cookies):

200g white sugar
100g unsalted butter
150g soft turrón (Spanish almond nougat)
220g flour
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Method:

1. Cream together butter, sugar and salt.
2. Beat the egg and then add it to the butter. Then add the almond extract and beat until well mixed.
3. In another bowl, mix together the flour and the baking powder.
4. Add the flour little by little to the butter, mixing well between additions.
5. Chop the nougat and add it to the dough (similar to when you add chocolate chips).
6. Allow the dough to rest for at least 15 minutes in the fridge. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 170ºC.
7. Line the baking tray with kitchen foil/waxed paper/silicon matt (whatever you prefer, just make sure that the cookies won't stick later). Take the dough out of the fridge and make little balls with it. Put them on the tray about 4cm (2 inch) away because they will grow thanks to the baking powder.
8. Bake them for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
9. Allow them to cool in a wire rack. When they're cold store them in an airtight container.
