Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

1 to 1-1/4 teaspoons almond extract if using ground almonds but otherwise, 2 teaspoons of vanilla

1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup ground pecans/almonds

1/2 cup either German sweet chocolate, grated or Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bar

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 pinch salt

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 cup either German sweet chocolate, grated or Hershey's Special Dark chocolate bar

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy.

Add almond extract.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground pecans/almonds, 1/2 cup grated chocolate, cinnamon and salt; mix well.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 to 2 hours, or until firm.

To speed this process up you can place it in the freezer.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (180 degrees C).

Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.

Place balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Bake 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch. Cool 1 minute on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

Coat with sifted 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 cup of the cocoa into a small bowl. If you don't want the added chocolate then coat them in plain confectioners' sugar.

While cookies are still warm, roll them in the cocoa and sugar mixture.
