1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, cut into several pieces
2/3 cup dry unsweetened cocoa
2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup raisins or currants
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the first four ingredients in a saucepan. Heat
slowly,stirring, until the mixture resembles smooth syrup.
Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour with the baking
powder and spices. Make a well in the center and pour in
the chocolate syrup. Work together, first with a spoon,
then with clean hands, to make a stiff batter. Add the
almonds and raisins or currants and work in.
Form into balls no larger than 1 inch and arrange on cookie
sheets. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick
inserted into the center of a cookie tests clean.Recipe
