Homemade Almond Roca
I know this is not technically a cookie.
I know.
I simply felt I needed to make Almond Roca because I kept seeing those big huge enormous cans of it at Costco and I wanted to eat it SO bad and my sister had made it a few years ago and said it was really easy so I wanted to try.
Therefore I decided to make it Cookie of the Week. I was sort of thinking I was doing recipes you would make for a cookie exchange and I would totally take these to a cookie exchange, so I think it counts.
This is pretty good stuff.
Really good.
You know what the best, most wonderful part of it is?!! It was so super duper easy to make. Like seriously so easy you will be shocked.
