Mocha Almond Fudge Cookies

If you’re a fan of chocolate and coffee, then you’ll absolutely love these Mocha Almond Fudge Cookies. With a decadent fudge center and a crispy almond crust, these cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and nutty.

To make these cookies, start by creaming together butter and white sugar in a bowl. Then, add in eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.

Next, it’s time to make the fudge center. Melt together chocolate chips, condensed milk, and instant coffee in a saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in chopped almonds. Allow to cool for a few minutes before forming into small balls.

Scoop a small portion of cookie dough and flatten it onto a baking sheet. Place a fudge ball in the center and wrap the cookie dough around it, sealing the edges. Repeat until all the dough and fudge balls are used up.

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
