Title: CHOCOLATE DIPPED HOKEY POKEY COOKIES * PART 1
Categories: Cookies, Chocolate
Yield: 8 servings
---------------------------KAREN PHILLIPS CBTX40A---------------------------
1/2 c Sliced almonds
1/4 t Salt
1/4 c Granulated sugar
1/4 t Pure almond extract
2 T All-purpose flour
3 oz Semi-sweet chocolate;
-chopped into 1/4" pcs
1 Egg white
1 t Unsalted butter; melted
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Toast the almonds on
a baking sheet in a preheated oven until golden brown,
about 8 minutes, then remove from the oven and cool.
Do not turn off the oven.
Combine the sugar, flour, egg white, butter, salt, and
almond extract in a stainless steel bowl. Stir the
mixture until smooth. Gently fold in the almonds until
coated with the batter. Hold the batter at room
temperature for 20 minutes before using, stirring
occasionally. This is done in order to dissolve the
sugar. If this step is bypassed, the cookies will not
have the desired taste and texture.
Trace 2 6-inch circles onto a piece of parchment
paper (cut to fit a baking sheet). Place the parchment
paper, trace marks down, on a baking sheet. Evenly
divide the batter between the circles.
