Ingredients

1/2	cup	butter	softened
3/4	cup	sugar
1	large	egg
1/2	teaspoon	almond extract
1/4	cup	almonds	(1 ounce), ground in a blender or food processor
1	cup	almonds	(4 oz)
1	cup	flour, all-purpose
1/4	cup	heavy whipping cream
1	cup	chocolate (semi-sweet)	semi-sweet chips
2	teaspoons	corn syrup, light

Directions

Preheat oven to 300 F.

In a medium bowl blend butter and sugar with an electric mixer until mixture forms a grainy paste.

Scrape down sides of bowl, then add egg and almond extract.

Beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.

Add the ground almonds and flour, and blend at low speed just until combined.

Form dough into 1 1/2 in balls and roll in sliced almonds, coating each ball thoroughly.

Place balls on ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until cookies are slightly brown along edges.

Immediately transfer cookies to a cool surface cover with waxed paper.

TO MAKE CHOCOLATE GLAZE: Scald cream in a small saucepan then remove from heat.

Stir in chocolate chips and corn syrup; cover and let stand for 15 minutes.

With small wire whisk or wooden spoon, gently mix glaze until smooth, being careful not to create bubbles in the chocolate.

When cookies are completely cool, drizzle patterns on them with the warm chocolate glaze, or dip half of each cookies into the glaze.

Refrigerate the cookies on waxed paper until the glaze has set--about 10 minutes.

Quinoa and Smoked Tofu Salad

I love this Quinoa and Smoked Tofu Salad, I bought 1 package smoked tofu a couple weeks ago, then found this recipe, it is really delicious, I added some basil instead of the mint, and I bought some purple bell pepper last Saturday, so I used purple pepper, they are awesome.
