- INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup almonds, peeled and shredded
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup strong coffee
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon orange marmalade
- For the icing
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 2/3 lb unsweetened chocolate square
- ground cinnamon
- 3 -5 drops vanilla extract
Method
- Sift the flour, almonds, and sugar and add cocoa powder to darken it. Form a well and add coffee, vanilla extract, butter and orange marmalade. Combine into a dough. Use the dough to form balls the size of a walnut. Put them on a greased cookie sheet and bake them at 375 F until golden. About 15 minutes.
- At this point make the veil: heat the chocolate and sugar over a very gentle flame, stirring constantly, and when the mixture is smooth and creamy remove it from the fire. Stir in the vanilla extract, let it cool slightly, and ice the cookies. Dust the cookies with just a hint of cinnamon and they're ready.
