Number Of Ingredients 7

5 cups finely chopped roasted almonds
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
4 eggs
1 (1 ounce) bottle almond extract, or to taste
¼ cup white sugar
45 whole almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix chopped almonds, 2 cups white sugar, and cocoa powder together in a bowl; add eggs and almond extract and stir until batter is well mixed. Form teaspoonfuls of batter into small balls.
