CHOCOLATE SPARKLE COOKIES
This recipe is from the executive pastry chef, Thomas Haas, of the Senses Bakery in Vancouver. The Vancouver Sun proclaimed it "the best cookie in the world." I just baked it this morning and had it with my morning coffee...it's like heaven...tastes like a baked truffle! Cooking time is chilling time.

Steps:
- Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over, but not touching, simmering water.
- Remove from the heat.
- Cut the butter into a few pieces and mix into the chocolate until melted.
- Beat the eggs with an electric mixer, gradually adding the sugar until ribbons form (about 4 minutes on medium-high).
- Fold in the chocolate-butter mixture.
- Gently add the ground almonds.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use a cookie scoop to form the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Roll the balls in granulated sugar, place on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart and immediately place in the oven.
- Bake until the center of the cookies is no longer wet, 9 to 12 minutes.
- When slightly cool, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar.
