One of my favorite shows is Giada At Home. She makes beautifully simple meals and always with a nice little dessert to finish. This recipe is one of those - beautifully simple and delish. It's like a traditional chocolate drop cookie but not as sweet. It's perfectly balanced with chocolate and almond and the perfect treat for after dinner, with your coffee or as a little pick me up during the day. It's best served cold (I like them frozen as well) and is best kept in the fridge. A great summertime cookie with very little effort which makes these an even better cookie!
