Chocolate Almond Macaroon Cookies
This chocolate version was the result of a kitchen experiment gone...right! Chewy on the inside, toasted and crispy on the outside, with chocolate drizzled on top just to guild the lily. I am never one to miss the opportunity to drizzle just about anything with chocolate, so, these macaroon cookies got the royal treatment. So few ingredients, incredible results.
