Chocolate Almond Cookies Recipe
It has been forever since I shared a desert recipe. To be honest, although I love sweets when I am out to dinner, I rarely have dessert at home. If I do it is usually something boring like fruit and yogurt or 1 piece of frozen chocolate. However every once in awhile I come across a recipe that screams out to try. This was one of those recipes. With a base of almond meal, dark chocolate, and coconut – I knew I would instantly love this cookie. It’s hearty, just sweet enough, and I am in love with the nutty almond flavor paired with coconut. Delish.
