Cocoa-Coffee Almond Cookies

These cocoa-coffee almond cookies from Italian American, a new book by Angie Rito and Scott Tacinelli, chef-owners of NYC’s Don Angie, crack dramatically as they bake to reveal a deeply fudgy interior. Almond paste makes the cookies extra chewy and coffee adds, as the cookbook notes, “a savory note that complements the chocolate and nut flavors.”
