    Lady's Kisses

    List of Ingredients




    Makes about 2 dozen

    2/3 cup Butter, softened
    1/2 cup Confectioner's Sugar
    1 Egg Yolk
    1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
    1 cup Almonds, ground
    1 1/2 cups Flour
    2 oz. Semi-Sweet Chocolate

    Recipe



    Cream together the butter and the sugar in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk, almond extract, ground almonds, and flour until a consistent cookie dough is formed.Refrigerate the cookie dough until firm, at least 2 hours.

    Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees and select several baking sheets for baking. Break off small pieces of the cookie dough and roll into evenly shaped balls. Provide plenty of space between the dough on the baking sheets, because these cookies spread while baking. Form at least 40 balls of dough to produce 20 completed cookies.

    Bake the cookies for about 20 minutes or until golden. Let the cookies cool completely on paper or wire racks. When cool, melt the chocolate in a small bowl placed in a saucepan half filled with water. Spoon a small portion of the warm chocolate on the bottom of one cookie, and press the bottom of another cookie into the other side of the chocolate, forming a sandwich. Let the chocolate cool to set before serving.
