Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup blanched almond, whole (3 oz)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup superfine sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder ( preferably dutch-process)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
confectioners' sugar , for dusting

Directions:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F
Pulse almonds with flour, granulated sugar, cocoa, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor until very finely chopped.
Add butter and pulse just until a dough forms.
Press dough evenly into an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan with your fingers.
Cut dough into 16 squares with a sharp knife, then cut squares diagonally to make a total of 32 triangles.
Bake until cookies are dry to the touch, 15 to 17 minutes.
Transfer pan to a rack and run a thin knife around edge of pan to loosen cookies while hot.
Recut hot cookies into triangles, then cool completely in pan.
Dust with confectioners sugar just before serving.
**Note: Cookies can be made 5 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
Makes 32 cookies.
