Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and almond extract to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until you form a soft dough.
Step 6
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Step 7
Use your thumb or the back of a rounded teaspoon to gently press an indentation into the center of each dough ball.
Step 8
Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of honey into each indentation, being careful not to overfill.
Step 9
Lightly press a few slivered almonds onto the edges of each cookie for added texture and decoration.
Step 10
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 11
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
