Chiara's almond cookies

ingredients
 
chopped almonds 100 grams
grated coconut 100 gr
brown sugar 80-90 gr
all purpose flour 100g
margarine 100 gr
dark chocolate in flakes or in drops 100g
one envelope of baking powder (about 2 tsp)
a pinch of salt
a sprinkle of chili powder

Preparation

Mix all dry ingredients together except for the chocolate, then blend together manually with your hands. Add the margarine until the mixture crumbles.  Add the chocolate. Greese a baking sheet with a few drops of oil or with a little margarine (or use oven paper) and divide the mixture into little balls. Flatten down the balls. Put in hot oven at 180° C (350° F) for 10-15 minutes, or until golden.
It's important to leave the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet because they harden as they cool off.
