• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cups Sliced almonds
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, all-purpose flour, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add honey, vanilla extract, almond extract, and the egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Step 6

Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Flatten each cookie slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon, then sprinkle a few sliced almonds on top of each cookie.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cookies are cool, lightly dust them with powdered sugar for a fancy finish.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your 'A Joy of Almond' cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
