Chocolate-Dipped Almond Cookies

Cookies For All Occasions

Prep time:

25 minutes

Cooking time:

10 minutes

“You can save money by grinding the almonds yourself. Purchase shelled almonds-5 ounces will yield 1 cup of ground almonds-then grind them in a food processor until the desired consistency is reached.”

Ingredients

Serves 50

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup ground almonds
CHOCOLATE DIP:
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons butter

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 2 baking sheets. Mix flour, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer set at medium speed until light and fluffy; beat in vanilla.
2
Beat flour into butter mixture; stir in almonds. Roll dough into small logs, then shape into crescents. Place 1 inch apart on sheets. Bake cookies until golden, about 10 minutes. Remove; let cool.
3
For chocolate dip, combine chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on HIGH for 11/2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Remove; stir until completely melted.
4
Dip each cookie halfway into chocolate mixture; place on waxed paper. Refrigerate cookies until chocolate is set.

If you do not have a microwave, you can melt the chocolate in a small metal bowl set over, but not touching, a saucepan of boiling water.
