List of Ingredients
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar, scant
1 3/4 cup finely ground, unblanched almonds
1 bar or square semisweet chocolate, grated
Blanched almonds, split in half, for garnishRecipe
Beat egg whites until very stiff. Fold in sugar. Combine. Add ground almonds and grated chocolate and blend gently but thoroughly. Drop a teaspoon of mixture onto a well-buttered 10 x 16 x 2 inch baking pan, forming a small mound with the help of a second spoon.
It is essential to keep mound high. Decorate by placing one blanched almond half on top of each dome. Place in preheated oven, 300 degrees, reduce to 250 degrees, and bake for about 25 minutes until firm on surface.
Leave on baking pan until slightly cool. Remove. Cookies may be slightly soft, but they will harden during cooling time. Makes 18 to 20 cookies
