CHILL TIME: 3 Hr

COOK TIME: 10 Min

As our Chocolate Blossom cookies bake, little cracks appear to give them their unique look that's special enough for the holidays or anytime. With a hint of cocoa and a sweetness that can't be resisted, these are holiday cookie favorites.

What You'll Need

1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped almonds
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

What to Do

In a large bowl, stir cocoa into melted butter. Cool slightly then stir in 1/2 cup flour, the granulated sugar, eggs, almond extract, baking soda, and salt. Beat until well blended. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup flour and the almonds until blended. Cover and refrigerate dough until firm, at least 3 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 300 degree F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll each ball in confectioners' sugar. Place balls 3 inches apart on baking sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until set and cookie tops have cracked. Remove from baking sheets and cool on a wire rack.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.

Tip

We recommend placing the confectioners' sugar in a shallow pie plate and rolling each cookie to completely cover it.
