Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a microwave-proof bowl, place the semi-sweet chocolate and microwave, stirring every minute until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl add the butter and sugar and cream together until light and fluffy around 3 minutes.
Add the melted chocolate and blend evenly.
Beat in the eggs and almond extract.
Mix in the dry ingredients into that mixture until a dough forms then add the nuts and other chocolate.
I use a medium-sized ice scoop or tablespoon full of cookie dough and drop it on the lined baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven for around 10 to 12 minutes.
Cool completed before frosting.
.Add powdered sugar to a bowl of around 2 cups then some water just to make a thin free-flowing icing.
For a chocolate flavor add 2 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
Note: you can melt chocolate white or dark and dip the cookies in that also instead.
Divide it into two bowls and tint the frosting with holiday colors like orange for Halloween or green for Christmas.
Dip each cookie into the frosting and use the color drizzle using a fork over the top.
Let dry.
