"These little gems are always the hit wherever I bring them. They are bursting with almond flavor and are wonderful dunked in coffee. They freeze beautifully in an airtight container."

Yummy! but a bit bland. Good texture otherwise. Could have maybe done with more chocolate chips or none at all.

Love these! They are super crunchy and great for dipping in coffee.

This is so delicious. It tasted much more authentic to not have a lot of almond flavor jumping out. You must cut them thinly, otherwise they don't get crunchy.

Great texture and good flavor. I, too, added more chips than called for, but otherwise followed the recipe very closely.

Very good recipe. I increased the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup and changed the 2 egg whites to 1 large egg, thereby incorporating 3 eggs. They were delicious and had a very nice, even shape.
