Ingredients

1/4	pound	almonds	or hazelnuts, chop fine
1/2	pound	butter	room temp
1/4	pound	sugar
1/2	pound	flour, all-purpose
1	x	raspberry preserves	seedless

Chocolate icing
1/4	pound	chocolate (semi-sweet)	bittersweet, melt
1/4	cup	water
3	tablespoons	sugar	superfine
1	teaspoon	espresso, instant
1	tablespoon	butter

Directions

If you cannot buy nuts already ground, then grind them in a processor, taking care not to overprocess them or they will turn oily; you can also process them with the sugar to prevent them from turning oily.

(Note if you are working with whole hazelnuts, toast them first in a 400~ oven, rub off skins, let cool and then grind.)

Combine the nuts with the butter, sugar and flour; you will have to combine this dough with your hands; if a bit too dry, add drops of lemon juice or rum.

Form dough into a roll 1 1/4 inch thick. Refrigerate overnight in waxed paper or parchment. Following day preheat the oven to 350F.

Cut dough into 1/4 inch slices and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet for 15 minutes or until golden.

Remove from oven and cool cookies on a rack.

When cooled to room temperature, sandwich two cookies together with raspberry jam and spread some of the chocolate icing (see below) over the top cookie.

For a pretty presentation, set them in fluted paper cups.

CHOCOLATE ICING-Melt chocolate with water and sugar.

When melted, add instant coffee and cook over very low heat for 5 minutes. Turn heat off, add butter and let icing cool to room temperature.

Super Low Fat Tomato Sauce

It is worth the effort to hunt through stores to find the canned Italian plum tomatoes imported from Italy. It makes such a huge difference than big brand tomatoes. It is the only canned tomatoes I have seen WITHOUT huge amounts of salt added. Check the label, if the canned tomatoes you use have salt there will be no need to add any to this recipe. Wish there was a way to remove the salt once it has been added to the can.
