The Weeknight Dessert Cookbook

This recipe for almond crinkles comes from a new book by my friend Mary Younkin called, The Weeknight Dessert Cookbook: 80 Irresistible Recipes with Only 5 to 15 Minutes of Prep. Mary already shared The Weeknight Dinner Cookbook with us, and now she’s back for more with dessert. Sometimes it’s nice to have a little sweet treat available on a weeknight, so I appreciate this book full of super easy dessert recipes! There are recipes for one-pan cakes, cookies and bars, cobblers and crisps, ice cream, pudding, no-bake treats and sauces. And a big bonus is that there is a big, beautiful photograph included for each recipe. Here are a few recipes I am super interested in trying: Best-Ever Coconut Pound Cake, Apple-Raisin Rum Cake, Cranberry Coffee Cake, Salted Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies, Cream Cheese- Pecan Cookies, Gooey Rocky Road Brownies, Irish Coffee Bars, Berries and Cream Cobbler, Bourbon Apricot Crisp, Seven-Minute Dark Chocolate Pudding, Perfect-Every-Time Hot Fudge Sauce, Peanut Butter- Banana Refrigerator Pie and Hot Fudge- Ice Cream Cone Pie. Everything sounds delicious, and I love that every dessert recipe has super simple prep.

How to make Almond Crinkle Cookies:

This is a very easy cookie recipe to make. You’ll begin by mixing together an easy, almond-flavored, buttery cookie dough. Then you’ll roll that dough into balls and dip them into a bowl of sliced almonds. The cookies will flatten while baking. Storing them in a covered container will ensure that they’ll keep their texture.

These almond crinkles are light cookies that are nice to have with tea or coffee. They are good dunkers! And I think they’d be a nice addition to a holiday cookie platter too. The recipe makes just 14 cookies, but you can certainly double or triple the recipe to make more. It will be difficult to eat just one, so I suggest making a lot! This is a popular cookie for people to reach for since it’s not really the average cookie.

If you’re looking for the next best cookie recipe to bake, I suggest you try these delicious Almond Crinkle Cookies! And I’d say it’s a great weeknight dessert recipe since it doesn’t take much time at all to prepare them.
