Instructions
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Divide dough in half; add almonds and almond extract to one portion.
Add cocoa to remaining portion.
Roll out each portion between two sheets of waxed paper into a 16x8-in. rectangle. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Place almond layer over chocolate dough.
Roll up tightly jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap and cut into 1/4-in. slices.
Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake 9-11 minutes or until set.
Remove to wire racks to cool.
Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Madeira, Prosecco
Cookies works really well with Cream Sherry, Madeira, and Prosecco. Sweet bubbly Prosecco doesn't overwhelm simple sugar or shortbread cookies, a sweet cream sherry complements spiced cookies, and madeira's nutty notes match cookies with nuts perfectly. The NV Bully Hill Vineyards 'Bass' Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 12 dollars per bottle.
