Ingredients
1 cup whole skin-on almonds
1/2 cup sugar
2 large egg whites
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Directions
Special equipment:
an 8-by-11-inch cookie sheet or pan- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line an 8-by-11-inch cookie sheet or pan with parchment.
- Put the almonds and sugar in a food processor and blend until the consistency of flour, about 45 seconds. Pour in the egg whites and mix until the dough is smooth and loose, about 30 seconds.
- Spread the batter with a wet spatula to evenly cover the pan in a thin layer. Bake until the batter sets and is golden brown, rotating the pan once about halfway through baking, about 18 minutes.
- While still warm, cut into 12 to 14 rectangular biscuits or other desired shape. (A pizza wheel makes cutting very easy.) Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Meanwhile, put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate at half power, at 30-second increments, stirring, until melted, about 2 minutes. Drizzle the chocolate over the biscuits. Cool completely. Serve. Store in an airtight container.
