Title: Almond Logs Dipped In Chocolate
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 54 Cookies

1 c Butter; softened
7 oz Almond paste
1 c Powdered sugar
2 Egg yolks
1 ts Almond extract
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
2 c All-purpose flour
Topping:
1 c Semisweet chocolate chips
1 tb Shortening
1 c Almonds; finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350?F; line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixer bowl, combine the butter and almond paste. Beat on
low speed, scraping the bowl often, for 1 to 2 minutes until well
mixed. Add the powdered sugar, egg yolks, almond extract and
vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed, scraping the bowl often, for
1 to 2 minutes until well mixed. Reduce the speed to low.

Continue beating, gradually adding the flour and scraping the bowl
often, for 1 to 2 minutes until well mixed. Place the dough in a
pastry bag with a 1/2" opening. Pipe onto the cookie sheets forming
2-1/2 to 3" logs. Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, or until the edges are
very lightly browned. Cool completely on parchment paper.

In a 1 qt saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and shortening over
low heat, stirring often, for 5 to 8 minutes until smooth. Remove
the cooled cookies from the parchment paper and dip the ends or the
tops in the chocolate and then in the almonds. Place on waxed paper
until set.
