My sister and I have been "doing" Weight Watchers together since October. She is rockin' and rollin' in out in California while I sit stagnate at the same number every week. I decided it is time to step things up a notch...and so began my Valentine's Day Baking Marathon. Whoops. I did find the recipe tracker feature on the Weight Watchers website, though. Watch out...this feature will bring a rude awakening to your favorite recipes along with the realization that losing weight and looking good is hard work.
These Chocolate-Almond cookies are a delight, easy to make and only 5 points each, it is a delicious, satisfying fabulously clean treat. The semi-sweet chocolate is enough of the chocolatey taste to keep my taste buds at bay.
Chocolate-Almond "Cookie" Recipe
One box semi-sweet baking chocolates or one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
75 Raw Almonds
Shredded Coconut (Optional)
Melt chocolate in a pan, stirring constantly. When melted allow to cool for about 3 minutes while you line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Use a tablespoon to drop chocolate onto the wax paper. Place 4-5 almonds on each dab of chocolate and lightly cover with a few more drops of chocolate. Sprinkle with coconut, if desired (but be sure to add one more point for every 2 tbs. of coconut). Place in freezer for at least 10 minutes and enjoy!
***Keep each cookie at 1 full tablespoon of chocolate to stay at the 5 PointsPlus value.
Wow those look like they would hit the sweet spot. Now I have to start baking!
