I did manage to make these successfully but with a few modifications in the quantities of certain ingredients. I used 3/4 cup of melted butter and 1/4 cup of cocoa powder instead of 1/8 cup. Also, since I prefer vanilla essence to almond, I used the former. I pre-heated my oven to 180C and baked these for 9 minutes. Came out lovely! I decorated these with melted chocolate and a small piece of maraschino cherry in the center. Thanks for sharing!
