6 oz Fine-quality white chocolate

Cookies

Grind almonds with sugar in food processor to a fine powder. Sift flour, cocoa and baking powder into a medium bowl. Cream butter in a large bowl. Add almond mixture; beat until smooth and fluffy. Using a wooden spoon, stir in cocoa mixture. Dough will seem dry at first, but stir until it comes together. Divide dough in half. Spoon each half onto a sheet of waxed paper. Roll in a log, about 1.1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate 2 hours. Roll each log again to an even round shape. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375^. Cut each log in about 1/4 inch thick slices with a thin sharp knife. Put slices on ungreased
baking sheet, about 1.1/2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 11 minutes or until cookies are just set; they burn easily on the bottom. Carefully transfer to racks with a metal spatula; cool completely. Ganache:
