Almond and Chocolate Crinkle Cookies

I can’t believe we are already in December. Christmas spirit is already filling the air and all I can think of, is cookies, cookies and more cookies. I just hope that I can make all the cookies I have in mind until Christmas day. These almond and chocolate crinkle cookies are on my “to do” list for a long time. I’ve seen various recipes, but I stopped searching when I found this one, as I just knew they are going to be awesome. These cookies are made using no flour as they are made with only egg whites and lots of chocolate. The cookies are also gluten free as well, for whoever is concerned about it.

These crinkled cookies turned exactly the way I imagined crinkle cookies should be, very soft and fudgy inside, not too sweet and crispy on the outside. The chocolate chunks are melted when you just take a bite , oh my, it is really hard to describe.. those who love chocolate as much as I do know what I am talking about.

As these cookies are flourless they are not hard at all and simply melts in your mouth. These Almond and Chocolate Crinkle Cookies are incredible rich and chocolatey, perfect for holidays. They can make a beautiful gift idea as well, so don’t forget about these cookies when Christmas knocks on your door.

    This looks fantastic. I have just tried it, mine are in the oven right now. I am unsure why, but after finishing mixing all the ingredients the consistency was a bit more fluid than yours. I couldn’t scoop it perfectly because it didn’t form a ball, it was a little bit more mushy. Nevertheless I have managed to put them on the tray. Should I have used a little bit of flower? I hope I’m lucky and they do well. The only other worry I have is the sweetness. I thought that much sugar will make them too sweet.
