These Paleo Italian chocolate dipped almond cookies are a grain free, family favorite at my house. The kids are always asking " when are you going to make those almond cookies with the chocolate again?" They are pretty simple to make and don't have many ingredients.
They are outstanding with coffee or tea. Dunk them, you won't be sorry! They can be made without the chocolate too, for those of you that don't participate in chocolate. I do know some people like this. I wish I could be one of you, but I can't seem to stay away from it. Chocolate haunts me and taunts me.
