Place 1 cup blanced almonds in the bowl of a food processor that has been fitted with the steel blade. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and grind the nuts and sugar to a fine texture. Add 1 egg white and blend 10 seconds. Add half the remaining sugar and blend 10 seconds. Add the remaining sugar and blend another 10 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl. Mix in the melted chocolate, chopped almonds and cocoa powder. Using a tablespoon, drop the batter onto the prepared sheets, leaving 1-1/2" in between each cookie. Moisten fingertips with cold water and shape the dough into 3/4" high 1-1/4" wide mounds. Set a whole almond into the center of each mound, pointed end up. Bake until the cookiese are dry and just firm on the outside but soft in the center, about 12-15 minutes. Let set on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. -----
