Chocolate Almond Pillow Cookies
Chocolate Almond Pillow Cookies
"Chocolate Almond Pillow Cookies have a secret to reveal. Inside these puffy little gems is a pocket of chocolate almond delight. These Chocolate Almond Pillow Cookies have a buttery soft outer shell with a filling that tastes like chocolate almond amaretto. Tucked into each ball of cookie dough is a smaller ball of filling. The cookie dough folds around the filling and gets rolled into a smooth ball. Then it gets dressed with some sliced almonds!"
