Swiss hearts
4 1/2 cups almonds (finely ground in a food processor)
6 1oz. squares unsweetened chocolate
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
4-8 Tbsp flour (depends on size of eggs)
6 egg whites (beaten until stiff)
Melt chocolate
Combine ground almonds, sugar, cinnamon, and flour
Mix in melted chocolate
Mix in eggs whites
Cool a little so dough stiffens
Roll dough to 1/4" thick on sugar covered board
Cut out hearts and place on sugar covered cookie sheets (you can put them close together because they don't spread)
Let stand at least 3 hours to dry out
Bake in 275 degree oven for 15-20 minutes
Makes about 7-8 dozen
