Preheat oven at 375. In a mixing bowl, combine margarine, cream
cheese, egg white, melted chocolate, vanilla, and peppermint extract. Add
flour mixed with almonds, baking powder. In another mixing bowl, combine
flour, sugar, almonds, baking powder, and salt. Cover and refrigerate at
least 1 hour, until firm.
Divide one fourth of dough into 12 pieces. Roll each piece into 2
1/2" long strip and place the strips 1" apart on unprepared baking sheets.
Repeat with remaining dough. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until edges are set.
Let cookies cool on sheets 2 minutes, then remove to a rack and let cool
completely. Using a knife or a metal spatula, spread melted chocolate on
one end of each log.
