Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup slivered almonds (blanched)
  • 1/4 pound preserved diced orange peel
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 350'.

  • Step 2: Stir cream and sugar together well. An even heavier cream is preferred by some.

  • Step 3: Stir in the almonds, orange peel, and flour.

  • Step 4: Spread a cookie sheet with unsalted shortening, flour it lightly, and drop the batter on it from a teaspoon, keeping each cookie well apart from the others.

  • Step 5: Bake until golden brown--10-15 minutes. These need careful watching as they burn easily.

  • Step 6: When they have cooled on a rack, spread the bottoms of the cookies with the melted chocolate. Use a spatula or spear the cookie on a fork and dip it into the chocolate.

  • Step 7: Dry on wax paper, bottoms up. Cookies will be very thin.
