The great thing about this recipe is that it's made entirely in the food processor, which means less dishes to wash. The dough is flavored with ground almonds, cocoa powder, bittersweet chocolate and allspice.
This is a slice and bake cookie, so the rolls of dough need to chill for a while before they're ready to bake. I added a sliced almond to the top of each cookie to make them more attractive.
I really liked the cookies - the cocoa and chocolate contribute a rich, complex flavor, and the allspice makes these unique. I put half of the dough in the freezer for another day, so I'll be baking these the next time I need another chocolate fix.

The almond sliver on top adds the cutest touch.
And I too love saving dough in the freezer - I used to make this huge batch of chocolate chip cookie dough in college and I would roll out little balls and freeze them. Then whenever friends were coming over for a late study night I could throw some in the oven and have fresh baked, homemade cookies at the snap of my fingers!
I love the flavours! These look really good, and I love how you get recipes from Google Books! BIG-TIME money-saver.
I love how easy they are to make in the food processor and such a great combo of flavors too.
Yummy... love the ingredients chocolate and almond.
Love the teardrop shaped almond in the middle!
wow! those look so easy and delicious!
Sara you made them look so cute with the sliver of almond on the top:-)
I love when a recipe doesn't dirty a million dishes! Your cookies look terrific - the sliced almond on top is a great touch!
Spice cookies and chocolate, I've never had those two together but those look so good! :)
I love these cookies. I will have to try them:)
These sound delicious, Sara- love the almond touch on top!
You sound like me; I hate to run to the store for an ingredient, so I'll halve a recipeor sub something else!
Delicious cookies and so pretty with the almond slivers on top!
Wonderful pix! I can't help but keep repeating: great pictures!
Cookies made with chocolate and almonds would never fail me!

They're so pretty with the almond slice on top and I love that you can whip them up with just a food processor!
Ohh Sarah I am making these tomorrow, they look rich and yummy!
Yumolicious! I just love your pics ;-)

The cookies look so simple and elegant, and utterly delicious too :) I'm not sure how you resisted eating the chilled dough straightaway! :)
These look absolutely delicious. Id love to dip a few in my coffee right now.
They're so pretty! I'm loving the spice & chocolate w/ almonds...I'm w/ Donna- I could use a couple with my coffee!
Those almonds look like little exclamation points on the cookies. Great idea to freeze, them, too. That way you don't feel obliged to eat the whole (half) batch at once, but it also doesn't go to waste (or waist!).
Best,
Casey

my mother adores one-pot/appliance cookies! less clean up ;)
oh wicked yum!!! and love your addition of the sliced almond... without it these would look pretty sad :)
I KNEW there was a reason I always kept chocolate in the house - these cookies are it!
These look and sound amazing. I love that you added a thin slice of almond to the top. They look beautiful.
I'm sold on these little beauties - wow what a great combo of flavours. The best is they appear easy to knock up a batch too :0)
Cute idea on adding a slice of almond!
Great idea.....I like that you can mix it all up in the food processor. These must have great flavor too!
These sound scrumptious with the double dose of chocolate and spice! And how easy to use a food processor!
I love chocolate and almond. These look really good. I'm not sure I can wait the 4 hours to get them cold though :-)
Wow they look so good. Thank you for a new and yummy idea. I am always looking for new dipping items!
I love when I have all the ingredients on hand and don't need to go to the store. Yesterday was an amazing day because I didn't have to buy any food! Sometimes I just get so sick of the market!
They're so simple and pretty. I want one now!
they look beautiful & elegant!
The slice and bake method comes in handy when you need to do a fast dessert. Love the spice from allspice.
What a perfectly pretty cookie. I love that there's chocolate and spice... that's a winner in my book! Slice & bake cookies are so handy, too, to have around in the freezer--this is definitely going in my to-do file for Christmastime! They sound like they'd be great with a cup of hot cocoa!
I'm all for a recipe that doesn't dirty many dishes!
These look so yummy! They are so cute too!
Thats always a plus when you dont have to run to the store to get stuff.
yummy cookies
Wow these look tasty. Superior photo too. What do you shoot with?
Hmmm Sara, this cookie look so delicious!
Considering I will pay $2.79 for a chocolate-almond candy bar at my grocers - you know these sing to me. Will definitely do these. Love the almonds on top - so pretty!
Great ad-lib, Sara! I have to do this a lot as my nearest grocery store is 16 miles away.
Wow, those look delicious! I could probably eat six or seven! :)

Hi I am visiting ur blog for first time its very good nice cookies and good photos.
I think it's so satisfying when you can bake anything without having to go to the store. It's good to ALWAYS have things like cocoa powder on hand, as I have often learned the hard way! :)
