CHOCOLATE ALMOND CRISPS
This is a traditional Christmas favourite in our household. I make them in conjunction with Eggnog Shorties, which use up the egg yolks and also provide an excellent contrast in flavour and texture. These are not the most beautiful of cookies; they tend to come out mottled by the icing sugar used to roll them out, and to puff somewhat unevenly. So, just close your eyes as you munch. Mmmmmm.....

Tips:
- Use good quality coffee for the best flavor. Darker roasts will impart a stronger coffee flavor.
- If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor.
- Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
