DOMINOSTEINE

Steps:

• Using all of the ingredients down to the cocoa, knead all the ingredients together and then remove 1/3 of the dough to use as a cover. Roll out the other 2/3 of the dough onto a well-greased cookie sheet.
• Make the filling by combining the almonds, raisins, lemon peel and jam.
• Spread the filling onto the dough on the cookie sheet.
• Roll out the remaining 1/3 of dough and cover the ingredients on the cooking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.
• When done, remove from oven. While still very warm, cut into squares. When cooled decorate with dipping chocolate. This can either be by dipping half of the square into the softened chocolate or by dripping the chocolate over the squares in a zig-zag pattern.
