My friend gave me some of these cookies for Christmas and they are so good! She gave me the recipe and I wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1/2 pound (8 oz/226 grams) semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
3 tbsp. butter
2 eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar, plus extra for rolling cookies in
3/4 cup almonds, finely ground
Powdered sugar, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:
1). Chop chocolate into small pieces and melt in a small saucepan on low heat, or place chocolate pieces in the top of a double boiler and melt on low heat. Mix in butter. Set aside.

2). In a separate bowl; beat the eggs. Gradually add the 1/3 cup granulated sugar to the beaten eggs until ribbons form. Fold into chocolate-butter mixture. Add ground almonds.

3). Cover and refrigerate overnight.

4). Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (160 C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

5). Remove mixture from refrigerator and form into 1-inch balls. Roll each cookie in the extra granulated sugar. Flatten out the balls just a little, and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

6). Bake cookies in preheated 325 degree F (160 C) oven until the middle of the cookie is no longer wet, 9 to 12 minutes. Let cookies cool for a few minutes before removing from pan. When cool, dust with just a little bit of powdered sugar if desired.

Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.

I had this recipe awhile back and lost it. Thanks for posting it. It originally came from a department store in Vancouver, BC. I saw it on Food Network.
