Almond Logs Dipped in Chocolate Recipe
|
To make almond logs dipped in chocolate you will need
Ingredients
| 8 1/2 | oz | Butter -- softened | | 7 | ounces | Almond paste | | 7 | oz | icing sugar | | 2 | | Egg yolks | | 1 | teaspoon | Almond extract | | 1/2 | teaspoons | Vanilla extract | | 8 1/2 | oz | plain flour | | | Topping: | | 3 1/4 | oz | milk-chocolate-chips | | 1 | tablespoon | Shortening | | 5 1/4 | oz | Almonds -- finely chopped |
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; 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
icing 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-inch opening. Pipe onto the cookie sheets
forming 2 1/2 to 3-inch logs. Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, or until the
edges are very lightly browned. Cool completely on parchment paper. In a
1-quart 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.
This should make 54 almond logs dipped in chocolate.
