Edible Cookie Bowl

Ingredients:

• 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• ¼ cup blanched, slivered almonds (finely ground)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons butter (softened)
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Making the Cookie Dough

Cover the outside of a loaf pan with foil. Spray with vegetable cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, almonds and salt.

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium, beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture; beat until a dough forms, about 2 minutes.

Shaping the Cookie Bowl

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Roll dough out to 1/8 inch thickness. Using a 1½ inch cookie cutter with scalloped edges, cut out shapes.

Cover pan with cutouts, overlapping and pressing them slightly.

Baking the Cookie Bowl

Bake cookie bowl until edges are firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely.

To remove the cookie bowl, carefully lift it off the foil-lined pan. Remove foil.
