Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup chopped almonds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
3/4 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

In 3-quart saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Remove from heat. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
With spoon, beat eggs into chocolate mixture until well blended. Beat in remaining ingredients except powdered sugar until well blended. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 1 hour for easier handling.
Heat oven to 300°F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray. Place powdered sugar in small bowl. Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in powdered sugar, coating heavily. On cookie sheets, place balls 2 inches apart.
Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks.
