Salted Almond Cookies are absolutely THE best! Sea salt flakes give pops of flavor. And, the hints of chocolate on the almond nuts is divine!
Ground Almond Cookies
When you bite into this almond cookie, you'll know you're eating something pretty healthy.
And, I call them Picasso cookies, too, because of my electively crazy splattering of chocolate ganache as the finishing touch.
This is not my first creation with the splattering. You must check out my Chocolate Splatter Bundt Cake!
Ground Almond Cookies Recipe
Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea, the cookies aren't too sweet. Hey, if you want sweetness, then add more coconut sugar.
Easy Ground Almond Cookies
For me, the sweet level was perfect. With the drizzle of the chocolate ganache, it's an exquisitely delicious cookie!
Almond Cookies Gluten Free
And, for all my gluten free fans, yes, this cookie is gluten free! Very similar to my Persian Walnut cookie, both are perfect for those who don't do gluten!
Ground Almond Recipes
For the recipe, it's best to get raw whole almonds and grind them into a fine grainy mixture in your food processor. You can get the large cost-efficient bags at Costco. Same with the walnuts. I always have both kinds in my freezer.
And, that's where I keep them to ensure more freshness!
Flourless Almond Cookies
It's really hard to believe that there's not a lick of flour, gluten free or gluten, in this cookie. But, it works perfectly. The cookies bake at a low temperature and come out rather 'ugly' looking. But, once you splatter on the chocolate ganache, well, let's just call them the Cinderella Cookie!
Date and Ground Almond Cookies
Adding to the sweetness and the flavor are dates. Oh, yes, dates are superbly fabulous for baking or just snacking. And, don't forget the flakes of sea salt. Yes, this is what makes the overall flavor of the cookie, each and every bite, just pop!
These cookies will keep for several days. I just put mine on a pedestal with a cake cover. As I watched them 'disappear' over the next few days, I knew that there were no complaints from my food seekers!
