You must try this cookie. I made a couple of versions so my darling hubby could vote..
1 Straight Up Recipe --liked it
2 Recipe with Semi-Sweet Topping--so-so
3 Recipe with Vanilla Flavored Almonds--great
4 Recipe without Almonds--loved it, but did not look as pretty as 1 and 3

I actually thought the batter was AWESOME--I could eat the batter, skip the cookie.

Also, I made toffee (1 cup sugar, 1 cup butter, broke it up and I used for the chips...but toffee chips are in stores now for the holidays---brand HER......Y

this cookie was so easy to make and taste so GOOD!!! i read in some of the reviews that some people had a hard time finding milk chocolate to melt for the topping, i bought baker's brand dipping chocolate. i followed the directions of the package and then placed the melted chocolate in a plastic bag, snipped off a corner and then drizzled it on the cookies.

I was so pleased at how easy and perfect these turned out. I enjoy them better than real almond roca because they don't stick to your teeth and they taste just as great. I served them at our store and all our customers loved them.

This was a new twist and they are amazing. The dough was sticky but not too difficult to work with as is. The milk chocolate is very important to the almond roca taste. I had a problem finding it at least in squares to melt. Tried the semi sweet on some and it just is a bit off. Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips melt ok but are hard to drizzle. Still this is worth any little effort. You'll love them.

they were good. i made them for a xmas party at work. everyone really enjoyed them. i just didn't think it was an "amazing recipe" though.

it didnt make me think of almond roca when i ate the cookie. it was good. but i didnt really get the almond roca taste.

i enjoyed eating the raw dough better than the cookie, hehe.

but its still a good an easy recipe.

i pictured in my head round little cookie balls, but they flatten out like a regular cookies...

Any recipe that gets my husband to say "Now, THAT is a good cookie". The batter was easy to whip up. Is was sticky, but it wasn't a problem. I put the chopped almonds in a pie plate and used a small ice cream scooper to form golf ball sized balls of dough. I dropped them from the scooper right into the nuts, sprinkled the nuts on top of the balls of dough and then rolled them around before putting on a parchment lined pan. I baked them for 20 minutes at 300 degrees... They turned out crispy. 18 minutes was more to my liking. To drizzle the chocolate on I used the baggie method with a small whole snipped in the middle. Very pretty.

I make these once a month, at least. My husband brings them to work and to his clients and customers. Family members beg for them. Since I make them so often, my husband splurged and bought me the Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer. THANKS
