INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. With cooking spray, grease 2 baking sheets. In
food processor chop 1/2 cup nuts until fine (like flour); set aside. In
food processor, coarsely chop remaining nuts; place in bowl with flour,
chocolate, baking powder and cinnamon.
In large bowl of electric mixer beat eggs at medium speed until fluffy. Add
finely ground almonds, sugar, butter and orange peel; beat until blended.
Stir in flour mixture to form dough. Divide dough into quarters; on well
floured work surface, shape each quarter into a 12X2-inch cylinder. Place 2
cylinders on each prepared baking sheet, and bake 25 - 30 minutes, until
firm in the center. Cool slightly; while still warm with serrated knife,
cut each cylinder diagonally into 1/2-inch thick slices. Place on baking
sheets. Bake about 5 - 7 minutes, or just until crisp and brown on one
side; turn and brown other side 5 - 7 minutes longer. Cool on wire rack. If
desired, drizzle with melted semisweet chocolate.
Makes 8 dozen cookies.
