sheets with parchment paper. A plain baking sheet need not be greased.
Put the nuts into the food processor and grind them until very fine. In a large
bowl, cream the butter, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer until light. Add
the ground nuts and flour. Mix until smooth. Put the dough into a cookie press
with a star or ridged tip and press into long, narrow strips. Cut into 4-inch
pieces. Shape the strips into rings and place on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes, just until lightly browned. Slide baked cookies on the
parchment off the baking sheet onto the countertop to cool, or place onto a wire
rack to cool.
While the cookies bake, combine the chocolate chips and cream in a small glass
bowl. Microwave at high power 1 minute at a time, or place over simmering water,
stirring until melted. Dip cooled cookies in the chocolate so that ends are coated
by 1/2 inch. Place on the parchment or on waxed paper to harden.
