These easy cookies are tasty eaten plain, and downright delicious when dipped into a chocolate sauce. The chocolate sauce contains only 3 ingredients, and adds just a touch of additional sweetness to your cookies.
If you love the flavor of almonds, you could add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of almond extract to the cookie dough. For an even fancier cookie, dip the tops (instead of the bottoms) in the chocolate sauce, and sprinkle with unsweetened shredded coconut before the chocolate sets.
Serve these at Christmas, or any time you get a hankering for something sweet!

- Make chocolate sauce: mix all ingredients together thoroughly.
- Place a piece of waxed or parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
- Once cookies have cooled, pour chocolate sauce onto a small shallow plate. Push the cookie down into the chocolate so the bottom is covered.

These look pretty yummy, but I don’t see the recipe for the 3-ingredient chocolate sauce. Did I miss the link?
Hi Julie,
Where it says “Make chocolate sauce” in the directions – that is a link to the chocolate sauce recipe! Hope that helps 🙂
