Preparation
Heat chocolate, stirring often, over barely simmering water in double boiler (or microwave on Medium until semi-melted). Stir in butter until smooth. Stir in almonds and let cool to room temperature.
Using electric mixer, beat eggs with sugar until thick and fluffy. Fold in chocolate mixture. Chill until firm enough to roll, about 1 hour.
With icing sugar-coated hands, shape dough into 3/4-inch (2 cm) balls; roll in icing sugar until thickly coated. Place at least 2 inches (5 cm) apart on parchment-lined or well-buttered baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes.
Bake in 350 ºF (180 ºC) oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until cracked and slightly raised. Remove pan to cooling rack; let cookies cool completely on pan. Store in airtight container.
