Angel eyes made from chocolate dough

Knead the butter, egg, flour, sugar, baking powder, flavoring, and cocoa powder into a smooth dough and chill for about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Shape the dough into a long log and divide it into equal pieces. Form balls about 1.5-2 cm in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Make an indentation in each ball using either your finger or the handle of a wooden spoon. Fill the resulting indentation with jam and bake for 9-12 minutes. After 9 minutes, the cookies will still be very, very soft. If you bake the cookies longer, they will be a little crispier around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then remove from the baking sheet and let cool completely. Makes between 30 and 40 cookies. The cookies are also delicious with other darker jams, such as blackberry. The bitter almond flavor can also be replaced with 1 tablespoon of Amaretto, rum, or rum flavoring.
