SPICED AMARETTO

I love Amaretto or other liqueurs for dessert. This could go either way, before or after dinner. I usually don't like the taste of most hard liquors, but the spiced rum with the amaretto was incredibly delicious! The addition of club soda makes it a nice before dinner drink, and, alternatively, the cream makes it a luscious dessert drink. (And I admit to using fat free half and half and it was great.) Thanks to Boomette's Disacolada for the inspiration!

Tips:

  • When choosing amaretto, opt for a high-quality brand with a rich, nutty flavor.
  • For a more intense amaretto flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
  • If you don't have any almond extract on hand, you can substitute vanilla extract instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cookies, as they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving, as they will be easier to handle and less likely to break.

With their rich, nutty flavor and chewy texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a special cookie recipe, give these spiced amaretto cookies a try. They are sure to become a new favorite!
