Do you ever get a craving for something and can’t think of anything else but that one thing until you get it? Well, these almond chocolate chunk cookies are that thing that I’ve been thinking about, dreaming about and drooling over for the past few weeks. I finally got around to whipping up at batch and it was totally worth the wait!
I was looking for a tender cookie studded with chocolate, lots of almond flavor and a touch of salt. The double almond flavor comes from the almond butter and the almond meal making this sweet snack delicious and gluten free.
