Notes

Parchment paper is critical for these cookies to turn out right. Silicone mats, waxed paper, etc. will yield a slightly different result.

    Omg. These are sooo good and easy. I was volunteered to bake cookies for a charity contest at work. I had to make 10 dozen cookies…bummer. I found the easiest recipe I could find. Boy oh boy did I underestimate these 4 ingredient cookies. I ended up getting 3rd place out of 25 people with these tasty little guys. Next time I think I’ll go a little less chocolate whole or halved almond and a slightly longer cookie time. Over all amazing! I will keep this recipe handy!

    I love these. I use mini chips and only use 1 cup, more chips per cookie, 2 cups is too much with the mini chips. The recipe should come with a warning: EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE!

    I have made these, my Hubby, Son and Nephew loved them. I thought (just me) that there was too many Choc Chips in the recipe. I got out voted by 3. LOL Simple and Easy to make these, and YES use the Parchment Paper. Not Waxed. Not the Same thing at all.

      Thanks so much Roni! A quick and easy treat for sure! (Maybe make a few with a little less chocolate chips just for you next time 🙂 )

    I didn’t realize that waxed paper and parchment paper ws so different. Sprayed wax paper with non stick cooking spray and they still stuck like glue. Can’t even eat them unless I eat wax paper.

      Yes, you can’t use wax paper. It has to be parchment which is why I make note if it in the recipe.

    I can’t find chopped almonds anywhere. Just whole or slivered. Did you chop them yourself?

    These cookies are great! Since I can’t have dairy, I substituted sweetened condensed coconut milk. Probably more coconut taste than the original.

    I’m allergic to the protein in milk, so the sweetened condensed milk is out. What could be used as a substitute? Something like coconut milk?

      I used sweetened condensed coconut milk. My local health food doesn’t care it by Amazon does.

    So excited to try this recipe! Do you think I could substitute the chocolate chips for green and red M&Ms? I was hoping to give them a little more Christmas cheer!
