Directions

1. Step1
   Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat two 10-by-15-inch rimmed cookie sheets (jelly roll pans) with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Step2
   In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, eggs, water, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Mix well with a spoon. Stir in almonds until well-blended. Dough will be thick and sticky.
3. Step3
   Place half the dough on the first cookie sheet and form a slightly rounded 4-by-12-inch loaf, about 3/4-inch thick. Repeat with other half of dough on second cookie sheet.
4. Step4
   Bake both sheets at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
5. Step5
   Remove from oven. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
6. Step6
   Allow the loaves to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Lay slices cut-side down on cookie sheets.
7. Step7
   Bake for 15 more minutes.
8. Step8
   Remove sheets from oven. Turn cookies over. Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes.
9. Step9
