Title: Chocolate Amazons (Schokoladen Amazonen)
Categories: Cookie German Chocolate
Yield: 1 Servings

2		Egg whites
1/2	c	Sugar (scant)
1 3/4	c	Finely ground, unblanched
		Almonds
1		Bar or square semisweet
		Chocolate, grated
		Blanched Almonds, split in
		Half (for garnish)

Beat egg whites until very stiff. Fold in sugar. Combine. Add ground almonds and grated chocolate and blend gently but thoroughly.

Drop a teaspoon of mixture onto a well-buttered 10 x 16 x 2 inch baking pan, forming a small mound with the help of a second spoon. It is essential to keep mound high. Decorate by placing one blanched almond half on top of each dome.

Place in preheated oven, 300 degrees, reduce to 250 degrees, and bake for about 25 minutes until firm on surface. Leave on baking pan until slightly cool. Remove. Cookies may be slightly soft, but they will harden during cooling time. 18 to 20 cookies.
