Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 350 deg F / 180 deg. Celsius.
  2. Line a cookie tin with baking paper. I find it easiest to grease the tin, flatten the baking paper over the grease, and lightly grease again.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder (unsweetened), baking powder and salt.
  4. Put the superfine/caster sugar in another mixing bowl, add the butter, and whisk with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the egg and vanilla, and again whisk very well.
  6. Mix the flour-cocoa mixture into the sugar-butter mixture. At first it might seem as if the batter needs more liquid: don't add anything!
  7. Mix in the chopped chocolate and the almonds. Once everything is well mixed in (use your hands, it works well), the batter will be quite soft.
  8. (If you find the batter too soft you can chill it in the fridge for 30 mins.).
  9. Use roughly a tablespoon of batter per cookie, and roll into a ball. Put the balls on the prepared tin, and press flat with the tines of a fork.
  10. Bake the cookies for 12 - 15 minutes, until the tops just start to make little cracks.
  11. Cool slightly in the tin, before removing to a wire rack. Cool completely before storing in an airtight tin.
