Honey Almond Flower Cookies
Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
4 tbsp honey
2 tsp almond extract
3 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Slivered almonds for garnish
1 egg yolk for egg wash
1 tsp water for egg wash
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and position a rack in the center. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper then set them aside.
In a large bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and sugar until it's light a fluffy. Add the egg, honey and almond extract then beat it until it's combined well.
In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt then add it to the butter mixture and mix it well.
Scoop a heaping tbsp of dough for each cookie and roll them into balls. Lightly compress the balls into thick discs between your palms. Carefully press five of the slivered almonds into each cookie in a flower arrangement. Whisk together the egg yolk and water then, using a pastry brush, coat the tops of each cookie in the egg wash making sure not to knock off the almonds. This will make the cookies shiny, golden brown and act as an almond flower glue to hold the garnish.
Bake them for 10 minutes until they turn a light amber brown. Transfer them to a cooling rack and enjoy!
