Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375.  Like a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.  In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together on low speed the almond paste, egg white, sugar, almond meal, salt, and almond extract.  Gradually increase the speed to medium and mix until evenly combined.  Dough will be sticky.
3. Take a piece of dough and roll into a one-inch ball.  Place on the cookie sheet and use the palm of your hand to flatten slightly.  Press sliced almonds into the top of the cookie.  Repeat with the remaining dough.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the edges start to turn golden brown.  Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before dipping them into the melted chocolate.
