Steps:
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Line several baking sheets with aluminum foil.
- In a food processor, process the almonds and 1 cup powdered sugar until the almonds are powder-fine but not oily; stop the processor and scrape down the sides several times.
- Add the cocoa powder, cinnamon, cloves, and chocolate; continue processing until the chocolate is finely ground.
- Add the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar, the almond extract, and egg whites; process until the mixture is blended and just forms a mass.
- Set the dough aside for 5 to 10 minutes to stiffen slightly.
- Generously dust a work surface with powdered sugar. If the dough seems too soft to roll out easily, dust it with more sugar and knead until the consistency is manageable, but avoid adding any more sugar than absolutely necessary.
- Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness, lifting it with a spatula frequently and re-dusting the surface and rolling pin with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- Cut out the cookies using a 2 1/4-inch heart-shaped (or similar) cutter.
- Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart.
- Bake the cookies for 9 to 12 minutes or until almost firm on top and slightly puffy.
- Let them stand on the foil lined baking sheets until completely cooled. Peel from the foil.
- Store airtight for 3 to 4 days. Freeze, airtight, for longer storage.

BRUNSLI
Agnes F. Hostettler, of Statesville, N.C., was 72 when she shared this recipe with The Times in 1990. She baked brunsli and zimt sterne each Christmas, as they were the cookies she baked as a child with her mother in Germany. The year she contributed this recipe, she has already baked about 1,000 cookies that she has sent to her five daughters. "My daughters all have my recipes," she said. "But they say, 'Mom, they never taste as good as when you make them.' "

Steps:
- Heat oven to 185 degrees.
- In a large bowl, mix the ground nuts with the cocoa and a half cup of the sugar. In another bowl, preferably copper, beat the egg whites with kirsch until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar, beating constantly. Continue beating until mixture is stiff. Mix egg whites with nut mixture to form dough. Refrigerate for one hour.
- Place dough on a sugared board. Roll to form cylinders, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Cut into slices 1/4 inch wide. Sprinkle slices lightly with sugar. Place on greased baking sheets. Bake for 50 minutes.

- Put the almond flour, sugar, chocolate, cinnamon and cloves in a food processor and process until you are left with a fine powder.
- Add the egg white and pules until everything combines. Bring the dough together into a ball. At this point, you can wrap and chill the dough if you prefer to make it a bit easier to work with.
- Place a piece of parchment on your worktop. Sprinkle it with sugar, flatten the dough slightly and put on top then sprinkle with a little more sugar. Cover with another piece of parchment then roll out. I have rolled to around 1/4 inch (3mm) but you can make these a little thicker.
- Cut out shapes (eg stars, flowers or as you prefer) and transfer the cut cookies to a lined baking sheet/tray. Leave to air dry for at least 3 hours but overnight is also fine.
