Basler Brunsli - Swiss Cookies by Chef Donald Wressell

These traditional Swiss almond-flour cookies boast a rich chocolate flavour, a light nuttiness, and a fun, chewy texture. 

Donald’s Swiss cookies feature a harmonious blend of rich chocolate and warming spice. Made with finely ground almond flour, they have a light nuttiness and irresistibly crisp yet chewy texture. Deeply chocolatey thanks to Cocoa Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, and with their elegant appearance, they make a perfect treat to enjoy with a warm drink as you kick off the new year.
