SPANISH CHOCOLAT

(Spanish-style hot chocolate)

1/2 lb sweet baker's chocolate

1 quart milk

2 tsp. cornstarch

Break chocolate into small pieces. Place in saucepan with liquid. Heat slowly, stirring with a whisk, until just before the boiling point. Dissolve cornstarch in a few tablespoons of cold water. Add dissolved cornstarch to chocolate mixture and stir constantly until the liquid thickens. Serve hot in warmed cups.

Makes six small cups.

ALMOND COOKIES

2 cups blanched almonds, finely chopped

2 egg whites, room temperature

1 cup sifted powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly toast almonds; set aside. Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gradually add sugar, beating constantly. After sugar is added, beat 5-8 minutes. Fold almonds and vanilla. Place by spoonfuls or shape into rings on greased cookie sheet. Bake 17-20 minutes or until cookies just begin to color.

Makes 3 dozen
