List of Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter -- softened
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1 egg
---Chocolate Topping---
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Recipe
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Sift through strainer all dry ingredients. Add butter, egg, vanilla and
almond extract and beat until creamy and fluffy.
Refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes.
Line cookie skeet with parchment paper. Take a tiny amount of batter and
apply it to the downside of the parchment paper and press it to the pan to
hold the parchment paper to the pan. Working quickly, so as to not soften
the batter, make 1" balls. Arrange them on the cookie sheet and press
each ball down until it forms a rounded cookie shape. Grease your hands
to avoid having the cookies stick.
Cook in the middle of the oven for about 12-14 minutes or until golden
brown on the edges.
If you are using two cookie sheets, put one in the upper third of the
ovenand other other in the lower third, exchanging their position half way
through baking.
Cool cookies and brush with Chocolate Topping.
Chocolate Topping: Melt butter and chocolate chips in top of double
boiler. When it's all melted add water to smooth it out. Working
quickly, brush on cookies using a circular motion.
Take at least three candy corns and arrange in a circle small ends
pointing in and large ends pointing out, likes spokes of a wheel.
