Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Natural almond butter gives these gluten-free cookies a wonderfully rich flavor and a tender, slightly chewy texture. Incorporating chopped toasted almonds and mini chocolate chips ensures plenty of chocolate and crunch in every bite.
Ruby Chocolate Thumbprints
You can fill these fingerprint cookies with jam or ruby chocolate, a naturally pink chocolate with a tart, fruity taste. You can find ruby chocolate (also called ruby cocoa or ruby couverture) at some specialty grocery stores, including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods, and online.
Meringue cookies with chocolate chunks and nuts
Check out these meringue cookies if you want a new, simple, no-fuss holiday cookie recipe. They are ready to eat after drying in the oven for an hour, but you can leave them there for longer, even overnight.
Chocolate and coconut imprints
These double chocolate thumbprints are filled with chocolate ganache and topped with toasted coconut. The ganache will set gradually, but will not harden completely, so if you want to wrap the cookies, layer them between pieces of wax paper to prevent them from sticking.
Flourless chocolate cookies
These flourless cookies get their volume from beaten egg whites (like a meringue) instead of cereal, making them gluten-free and melt-in-your-mouth. A chocolate chip in each bite adds to the rich chocolate flavor.
