Directions
Chocolate Amaretti Cookies, This was posted to accompany my Chocolate Amaretti Peaches recipe Recipe source is my CHOCOLATE cookbook by Christine McFadden & Christine France , Thank you for this recipe We have enjoyed it for two years now at the holidays It’s so much healthier than most Christmas cookies used a Kitchenaide upright mixer instead of a handheld mixer and the cookies turned out beautifully , These were good, I would have prefered a little more chocolate flavor (just personal preference) the texture was great though and they did bake out nicely, thanks Twissis!
