-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/2 cups natural almonds (8oz)

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup powdered sugar

6 oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chopped

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

2 large egg whites

 

In a food processor combine almonds with sugars until ground fine. Add chocolate

and mix until fine. (Do not overmix or chocolate will melt.) Add spices and egg

whites and mix until dough comes together. Chill dough for about 1/2 hour. On a

surface covered with sugar, roll dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut out

cookies with a 2 inch cookie cutter (heart or star shaped) and transfer onto

baking pan lined with parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350º F. Put cookies into

the oven and reduce the temperature to 325º F. Bake for 15 minutes or until

firm. Be careful not to overbake or the cookies will be too hard.
