Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.5 cup Almonds (sliced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, honey, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 6

Gently fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 8

Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to slightly flatten each cookie ball.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve the cookies once cooled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
