Most of the differences seem to be based around the reduction in gluten because of the almond flour substitution - not as much air getting trapped, not as much of a protein network being built, etc. Making the 100% almond flour cookies with shortening instead of butter, and refrigerating them before baking may be a way to offset the flattening effect, if I remember my cookie tips correctly. This may be already obvious to anyone reading this.
