Preparation
 
Make the cookie dough:

Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 F. Put
three heavy, large ungreased baking sheets in the refrigerator.

In a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade, process the
almonds with 1 cup of the flour for 3O to 45 seconds, or until the
mixture is ground to a fine powder. Add the remaining 1 1/4 cups plus
2 table- spoons flour; granulated sugar confectioners sugar and
salt. Process for 10 to 15 seconds, or until the mixture is
thoroughly blended.

Evenly distribute the butter cubes in a circle around the chopping
blade. Add the egg, vanilla and lemon zest. Process for 45 to 60
seconds, or until the mixture is creamy. (Make sure that the butter
is completely blended into the batter.)

Fill a pastry bag fitted with a closed star tip (such as Ateco #6)
with one-fourth of the cookie dough. (Slightly open the teeth on the
end of the pastry tip so that any small nut particles do not get
caught between the points as you pipe.)

Remove a chilled baking sheet from the refrigerator. Starting at the
left-hand side of the midsection of the baking sheet, pipe 1 1/2-inch
long "cats paws" about 2 inches apart, across the center of the
baking sheet. (This will enable you to pipe straight and even lines
across the baking sheet.) Continue piping until the bottom half of
the baking sheet is covered with piped cookies. Turn the baking sheet
180 degrees and continue piping cats paws onto the other half of the
baking sheet.

Refrigerate the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the piped
cookie dough is firm. Pipe the rest of the cookie dough onto the
remaining chilled baking sheets and refrigerate.

Bake the cookies one baking sheet at a time for 12 to 15 minutes, or
until lightly browned. Turn the baking sheet halfway through baking
for even browning. Using a metal pancake spatula, immediately
transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool.

Assemble the cookies:

Melt the dark chocolate according to the melting instructions in the
Chocolate Key OR temper the chocolate following the tempering
instructions on page 72. Scrape the chocolate mixture into a small
heatproof bowl. Place the bowl of chocolate over a smaller bowl of
warm (86 F to 90 F) water.

Using a small metal cake spatula, coat the flat side of half of the
cookies with a thin layer of melted or tempered chocolate. Top each
chocolate-coated cookie half with a second cookie. Place the cookies
on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 5 to 10
minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Dip the pointed tips of the cookies halfway into the melted or
tempered chocolate. Place the cookies back onto the waxed paper-lined
baking sheet and refrigerate 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chocolate
is set. Store the cookies dipped in melted chocolate in a airtight
container in the refrig- erator for up to two weeks. The cookies
filled with tempered chocolate may be stored in an airtight container
at room temperature for up to three weeks.

YIELD: Approximately 35 cookies PREPARATION: 1 1/2 hour plus baking,
chilling and cooling times. FROM: Sallie (Austin) Krebs
