Time 45m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
⅓ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 egg yolk
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
1 (1 ounce) square unsweetened chocolate
1 tablespoon butter
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 2 squares of chocolate with 1/3 cup of butter. Stir frequently until melted; remove from heat, and set aside to cool. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix sugar, egg, egg yolk, and almond extract until light and fluffy. Stir in the melted chocolate. Combine flour and walnuts, and stir into the batter until just combined. Shape dough into 3/4 inch balls, and place them 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate for 30 minutes before forming balls.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Transfer to wire racks immediately, and set aside to cool.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 square of chocolate and 1 tablespoon butter together, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla and confectioners' sugar until well blended. Beat in the milk one tablespoon at a time until the glaze is of the desired consistency. Dip the tops of the cookies into the glaze, and allow to dry completely before storing in an airtight container.

Meh. These chocolate balls were just okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping they would be.

I was a bit disappointed with these chocolate balls. They were a bit too sweet for my taste and the chocolate coating was a bit too thick.
