This tender, flavorful cookie from our Test Kitchen is made even better by being dipped in chocolate. The contrasting drizzle is a fancy finishing touch. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup baking cocoa |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup chopped almonds |
1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips |
12 ounces white candy coating disks, melted |
12 ounces dark chocolate candy coating disks, melted |
2 ounces milk chocolate candy coating disks, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in almonds and chocolate chips.
