Are you ready for some more Chocolate?

Yeah, me, too!

How about…

- Chocolate Spice Quickies
These are simple to make refridgerator cookies. Slice and Bake. Easy to prepare in the food processor. But not your plain every day chocolate cookie. The dough includes finely ground almonds
and allspice {or cloves}.
I was curious to see how the cloves would affect the chocolate flavor. I was soooo disappointed. I could not taste the cloves at all and I had even added a tad extra. I also couldn’t taste the chocolate. It was like there was NO flavor in the cookie at all. Maybe my cloves were old. Does chocolate lose it’s flavor over time? I don’t think so!
What to do, what to do…
Dip them in white chocolate {Sorry, Nancy!} and roll them in chopped almonds.
While they look pretty, all you could taste now was the white chocolate (very sweet) and the chopped almonds (not a bad thing)!
Found on page 140 of Dorie’s Baking from My Home to Yours they were chosen by Jessica of My Baking Heart.

They look very pretty dipped. I’m sorry the flavors weren’t very prominent, I’ll have to try extra spice and darker chocolate when I make these later today!

Wonderful idea! I dipped in chocolate but I didn’t roll in almonds. Im sure they tasted great!

Love their little nut hats…so very pretty…I never think to do anything like this…somehow the creative gene missed me, but I can certainly oh and ah when others do it! Great job.

I love that you dipped them. I was a bit disappointed in the ‘spicy’ taste, as well, but still enjoyed them. Thanks for baking along with me this week!

Dipping was a creative twist – love it! They turn ordinary into extraordinary! I’m a big fan of refrigerator cookies – these look super Margaret!

Quite the fancy slice-and-bake cookie. Nice to know they are versatile. Now I need to get caught up on my blog-reading backlog.

Super-sweet from the white chocolate dip? Yep, that would be about right! Your cookies are cute even if they weren’t the flavor profile you were seeking.

Dipping in chocolate sounds good, but I’d go for the dark stuff myself. =)

They look splendid with the chocolate dip. I felt like these could have used a bit of a flavor boost; luckily they’re still getting eaten.

Good rescue plan – nothing wrong with white chocolate and almonds.

Nothing wrong with a little dip in some chocolate and nuts! Great idea.
