What's on your cookie tray #2

These are a must have if you've made the Almond Madeline you must have the chocolate as well. I always thought they would look great for a piano recital, so piano key like. I tried dipping these in white chocolate this year just for the heck of it, but other than they were delicious, they were a little messy looking, so I had to eat them. I think I would have had to make sure they were completely cold, not just cool before dipping. I used 3 squares of white chocolate and 1 tbsp melted shortening for my dipping solution.I melted these two combined over a double boilers, it does get hot. I thought they looked messy because some of the dark crumbs got into my white chocolate and ... but they were good. Enjoy.
