Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
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.
Gently fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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.
Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to slightly flatten each cookie ball.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still look slightly soft.
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.
Serve the cookies once cooled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
