German Chocolate-Dipped Almond Horn Cookies (Mandelhörnchen)

I conducted a poll on Instagram: Do you want another cookie recipe before Christmas or wait until January? I fully expected y'all to be cookied-out, but I was wrong. Overwhelmingly, you want MORE COOKIES! And you want them NOW.  German Chocolate-Dipped Almond Horn Cookies, or Mandelhörnchen, are cookies that have everything. Cripsy (exterior), crunchy (almonds), chewy (interior), and silky (chocolate)! Truly, these cookies are a dream.  They're also naturally gluten-free.
