Ingredients
  

For the dough
  • 7 ounces almond paste
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg white
  • 2 pinches sea salt
For the coating
  • 1 1/4 cup sliced almonds
For the chocolate
  • 6 ounces semi- or bittersweet chocolate, chopped or in chips
For garnish
  • colored sprinkles (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut, tear, or grate almond paste and place it in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add sugar and beat until almond paste cannot be broken up any further (3 to 5 minutes).
  3. Add egg white and salt. Beat until uniform and creamy.
Shaping
  1. Place sliced almonds in a shallow bowl. Wet your hands, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, roll it into a 4-inch log, then roll in almonds and shape into a horn.
  2. Transfer to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining dough.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15 minutes, until almonds are toasted and horns are puffed. Let cool completely.
  2. Melt chocolate and dip ends of cookies, then return to the tray to set. Add sprinkles if desired.
