Italian Almond Cookies

Ingredients

  • 4 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup + 2 tbsp white sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened to room temp
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 lemon's grated peel
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees if you plan to bake these immediately.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients except the eggs. Once fully incorporated, add in the eggs and mix until a homogeneous mixture is obtained.
  • Ideally leave the dough to rest for an hour. Otherwise skip this step and make 2 tbsp balls. Dip these into powdered sugar and then place onto baking sheet about 2 inches apart as they do spread while baking.
  • Cook for 15 minutes. The tops will crack and the cookies will spread out a bit.
  • Once cooled, store in air-tight container in dry cool place for up to two weeks.
  • Optional: dust the finished product with powdered sugar if desired.
