ALMOND CRUNCH COOKIES

These are my son’s cookies! I was the sous chef this time in the kitchen. Yes, I’m so proud; Lincoln made these Almond Crunch Cookies all by himself. Well, he made them up to the point they were ready to cook, at that point he just wants to eat the dough! Funny, he and Ryder never care about actually baking or eating the baked cookies. It’s all about the cookie dough!

He’s a great baker I’ve had him in the kitchen baking with me since he could stand. Of course, I was giving instructions as well as explaining why we were doing what we were doing. (Lincoln wants to know the ‘why’ behind everything.)

On to the cookies!

THE ANATOMY OF A COOKIE

The oats give a good ‘chew’ and the cereal gives a good ‘crunch’ to this cookie. This Almond Crunch Cookie is not an overly sweet cookie. This is kind of perfect, if you want the sweeter drizzle of white chocolate over them, if you don’t like overly sweet cookies, simply omit the chocolate!

I liked the white chocolate and almond flavoring combination. However, you can substitute vanilla flavoring.

You can also use dark, semi, or milk chocolate for the drizzle.

Melt white chocolate (read How to Melt Chocolate) in the microwave in a zip-top freezer bag. When it’s thoroughly melted, snip the corner off and drizzle over the top of the cookies. Allow the chocolate to dry before serving or packaging.

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

    • Slightly crush corn cereal, only to the point there aren't large pieces (but not too small, you'll lose the 'crunch') Carefully stir in oats and cereal.
    • Using an ice cream scoop, drop dough on a cookie sheet 2" apart. Bake at 325 degrees 12 to 14 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes on cookie sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
    • Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies and allow it to harden and set.
