Ingredients:  
2 cups sifted flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Sweet butter (if salted butter is used, omit salt)
1 cup ground blanched almonds
¾ cup sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
Grated rind of 1 lemon
½ cup apricot jam
4 oz. semi-sweet chocolate pieces
Blanched almonds, halved
Directions:
Directions:
Sift flour with baking powder and salt. Cut 1 cup butter in small pieces. Add butter, ground almonds, sugar, lemon juice and rind to flour. Knead with hands until dough is very smooth and firm. Chill for at least 2 hours. Roll half of dough to 1/8 inch to ¼ inch thickness; keep remaining dough chilled until using. Cut into 1 inch or 2 inch rounds. Bake cookies on greased and floured cookie sheets at 350 for 10 minutes, or until golden. Remove cookies carefully. Very thin cookies are fragile. After cooling, put two cookies together with jam, sandwich fashion. Melt chocolate and 1 tbsp butter over hot, not boiling water. Beat until smooth. If necessary, add up to 1 tbsp more hot water to achieve spreading consistency. Frost tortelettes on top. Place half an almond on center of each cookie.

Makes 5 dozen 1 inch cookies.
