Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 to 1-1/4 tsp almond extract if using ground almonds but otherwise, 2 tsp of vanilla
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup ground pecans/almonds
1/2 cup either german sweet chocolate, grated or hershey's special dark chocolate bar
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup either german sweet chocolate, grated or hershey's special dark chocolate bar

Directions:

In a large bowl, cream butter and 1/3 cup confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy.
Add almond extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, ground pecans/almonds, 1/2 cup grated chocolate, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill 1 to 2 hours, or until firm.
To speed this process up you can place it in the freezer.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
Place balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are firm to the touch. Cool 1 minute on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.
Coat with sifted 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar and 1/4 cup of the cocoa into a small bowl. If you don't want the added chocolate then coat them in plain confectioners' sugar.
While cookies are still warm, roll them in the cocoa and sugar mixture.
