Cream the butter and sugar until
light and fluffy. Add the egg yolk
and vanilla, then the flour, salt, and
finely chopped almonds, mixing
well.
Shape the dough into 2 rolls, each
1 1 /2 inches in diameter. Wrap rolls
and refrigerate until firm, about 2
hours.
Preheat the oven to 350° F. and
line baking sheets with parchment
paper.
With a sharp knife, cut the dough
into 1 /4-inch-thick slices. Place 1 to
2 inches apart on baking sheets and
bake for 8 to 10 minutes, just until
lightly browned. Cool on a rack.
In the top of a double boiler, melt
the chocolate and butter for the top-
ping. Add the hot water and stir un-
til smooth. Dip an edge of each
cookie into the chocolate, then
sprinkle with the chopped almonds.
Cool on a rack until the chocolate
hardens. Makes 6 dozen.
