Ingredients

  • 5 cups finely chopped roasted almonds
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 (1 ounce) bottle almond extract, or to taste
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 45 whole almonds

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix chopped almonds, 2 cups white sugar, and cocoa powder together in a bowl; add eggs and almond extract and stir until batter is well mixed. Form teaspoonfuls of batter into small balls.
  • Place 1/4 cup sugar in a bowl and roll balls in the sugar. Press a finger into the center of each ball, making an indentation. Place 1 almond in each indentation. Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to crisp, about 15 minutes.
