Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies
With everyone heading back to school, we thought we'd add some joy to lunchtime with a month of cookies! We've got 5 more cookie recipes (plus an edible cookie dough!) so set out a few sticks of butter to soften and bake along with us. And these deep, dark chocolate cookie with pockets of melty chocolate and crunchy toasted almonds are the lunchbox treat you've been waiting for! Blanched Almond Flour and Almond Extract add layers of almond flavor. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
