Chocolate Amaretti Cookies

Soft, chewy and chocolatey, these chocolate amaretti cookies are sure to become a fast favorite!

This rich chocolate variation of my popular amaretti morbidi cookies will delight your tastebuds. A few tablespoons of cocoa powder transforms these little almond cookies into rich, brownie-like bites of heaven.

The infamous amaretti strike again.

This time in the form of dark chocolate.

The result is soft and chewy and richly chocolate (surprisingly so for just a few tablespoons of cocoa powder), reminiscent of an almond-scented brownie.

I mean, amazing is what they are (dare I say this is my favorite variation yet? Of course, I said that about the last batch too… but then again, I’m totally a sucker for anything chocolate).

Much like the other variations, the chocolate amaretti use the same base recipe with the addition of one single flavoring ingredient, in this case, Dutch-processed cocoa powder. Everything else about the recipe is virtually identical.

It’s amazing how the addition of one ingredient can make for such a wildly different cookie!
