Ingredients
Instructions
- 15.5 oz. box of chocolate cake mix
- 3/4 cup of whole almonds, (chopped in a bullet blender or finely chopped)
- ½ cup chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbs. unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. almond extract
- 3 tbs. brown sugar
- 2 tbs. milk
- Raw sugar for topping cookies
- Maraschino cherries, halved for topping cookies
Notes
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F. and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl combine cake mix, chopped almonds, eggs, room-temperature butter, vanilla, almond extract, brown sugar, milk, and chocolate chips and mix with a hand mixer until combined.
- Using two teaspoons, spoon out the cookie dough; leaving about two inches of space between the dough. The cookies will spread out as they are baking so you want enough room so they don't stick together.
- Place some raw sugar in a small bowl. Using the bottom of a small jar or glass, dip the bottom of the glass in the sugar and then gently press down on each cookie.
- Top each cookie with half of a Maraschino cherry.
- Place the cookie sheets in the oven and bake for 12 minutes. Remove and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Once the cookies have cooled, dust them with powdered sugar if desired.
