Yield Makes about 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup walnuts
2/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2/3 cup almond paste (about 7 ounces)
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large egg whites

Steps:

  • In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder, the salt, and the cocoa powder. In a food processor grind fine the walnuts with 2 tablespoons of the sugar, add the almond paste, and grind the mixture until it forms a paste. In the bowl of an electric mixer cream together the butter and the remaining 2/3 cup sugar, add the nut paste and the vanilla, and beat the mixture until it is combined well. Beat in the flour mixture at low speed until a dough is formed and beat in the egg whites until they are incorporated.
  • Working with half the dough at a time, roll out the dough 1/4 inch thick between sheets of plastic wrap, cut out diamond shapes with a 2-inch-wide cutter, and arrange them 1 1/2 inches apart on buttered baking sheets. Press ridges into the diamonds with the tines of a fork and bake the cookies in batches in the middle of preheated 350°F. oven for 10 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the sheets on a rack for 2 minutes, transfer them carefully with a spatula to racks, and let them cool completely. The cookies may be made 3 days in advance and kept in airtight containers.

I've tried a lot of different chocolate nut cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are always moist and chewy, and the chocolate and nuts are the perfect combination.
