"Ready, Set, Cook! Reynolds Wrap Contest Entry. This special little cookie is packed with flavor. It really has all my favorite flavors, Almonds, lemon and dark chocolate. The special bonus with this cookie is that it caramelizes on the bottom when it bakes. What more could you want? Crunchy, chewy, tender too."
