Ingredients

1 cup toasted almond, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
Finely grind 1/3 cup of the toasted almonds in a food processor.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground almonds, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.
In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar and butter.
Add honey, egg, vanilla extract and almond extract to the creamed mixture.
Gradually blend in dry mixture and remaining 2/3 cup almonds.
On a well floured surface, shape dough into two logs.
Transfer logs to a baking sheet or baking stone, leaving space between the two logs.
Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until firm and lightly brown.
Cool logs on a wire rack for at least 5 minutes.
Cut logs into 3/4-inch slices.
Place slices in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space around each slice.
Continue baking about 10-15 minutes or until desired crispness.
Cool completely on a wire rack.
