Chocolate Cookies

These cookies only have 6 healthy ingredients.  They're so chocolatey and if you don’t overcook them, they have a fudgy centre.

The main ingredient is almonds, which are packed with good (monounsaturated) fats and also a bit of fibre and protein.
Although it's always better to snack on whole almonds, it’s nice to mix it up sometimes.

I'd also suggested to warm them up slightly before you eat them! You won't regret it.
