| Almond Flour Chocolate Toffee Brownie Cookies |
These cookies are simply a variation of the Double Chocolate Almond Flour Cookies that I have here on this blog. I have a bunch of toffee bits and mini chocolate chips left over from a Scoopable Baked Cheesecake I made for a potluck; plus I had a bag of almond meal/flour needing to be baked into something. I added walnuts to make them more brownie-like and because they taste good.
Just like the Double Chocolate Almond Flour Cookies, these cookies are not super sweet. The toffee adds some sweetness, flavor and crunch.
Just cooled out of the oven, these cookies were crisp on the edges and tender in the middle. The texture is a little grainy because of the almond flour, but I still think these are delicious. If you are new to gluten-free cookies, these may not be awesome to you, but if you're used to non-wheat cookies, and you're a fan of chocolate, I think you'll enjoy these cookies.
If you try them, please leave me a comment and let me know your impression. I'm curious.
Thanks!
