Chocolate Almond (Cokdam) Cookies are deliciously simple to make yet elegant and tasty dessert or snack You might wonder what :cokdam" stand for. It's a short form for chocolate and badam (almond).
Some cookie dough needs minimal chill time in the fridge but these cookies are not required.
Highly recommended not making these Chocolate Almond (Cokdam) Cookies too thick and if possible make them almost the same size to ensure even cooking time. I used small cookie cutter and pleased with the result. I got about 100 cookies for the following recipe. Each time you use the cookie cutter, dip it first in flour so you will get beautifully shaped cookies without sticking.
Make sure the almond is finely chopped in order to get beautiful shape otherwise the dough tends to break when cutting them.
