Macaroons Flavored with Chocolate

Take half a pound of ground sweet almonds, add a quarter of a pound of slightly warmed chocolate and a quarter of a pound of powdered sugar; mix them to a stiff paste with the white of the eggs. Shape the paste into round balls, place them on a sheet of paper leaving a space between each, sift over some fine sugar, and bake in the oven until they are of a golden color. When they are done, take the paper out of the oven, dampen it a little so that they will be removed easily, and place the macaroons on a sieve until they are wanted.
