Ingredients

  • 1 and 1/2 cup of Almond meal or Almond flour
  • 2 tablespoon of Butter
  • ¼ cup of Honey
  • ½ teaspoon of Almond Extract
  • A pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoon of granulated sugar for dusting optional

Instructions

  • In a food processor, dump the almond flour, softened butter, honey, almond extract and a tiny pinch of salt. Pulse for 10 seconds at a time, till everything comes together in a sticky dough.
  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven at 350 F or 180 C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon liner.
  • After the 30 minutes, remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and use a small ice cream scoop and make small 1-inch dough balls.
  • Dip a fork into a bowl with sugar then use it to flatten the cookies making a crisscross pattern.
  • Place the flattened cookies on the parchment lined or silicon liner lined baking sheet. Though the cookies won’t spread too much, do keep a gap of about 2 inch between the cookies for even baking
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or till the edges are golden.
  • Take it out of the oven and sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of sugar on each cookie (optional step).
  • Let it cool in the pan for next 5 to 6 minutes and then complete the cooling process on wire rack.
