Chocolate chip almond cookies

I'm trying being gluten free at the moment as going dairy free hasn't solved all my problems, and have been missing sweet things rather a lot (which you could probably guess!).  Yesterday evening I decided to make myself something, so I took a normal recipe for chocolate chip cookies and replaced the flour with ground almonds.  They turned out much better than I expected, although when they were half way through baking I thought I should probably have put a raising agent in as they're usually made with self-raising flour.  I'll just have to make them again...
