Almond and Honey Cookies

Minoo made these Almond and Honey Cookies in the Caring Place Community Kitchen upon Ada’s request. Most of the time, it’s a challenge to get the members of the community kitchen to volunteer to demonstrate. Most of them are very shy. So, instead of asking for volunteer to demonstrate, Minoo will ask what we would like to learn. It’s not easy being a leader of the community kitchen.

This Almond and Honey Cookie is the puff up type, light and yet you can get the crunch from the crushed almonds.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup almonds, crushed or blended (not too fine)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F.

Combine the butter, sugar, honey and egg in a bowl.

Whisk until creamy.

Pass the flour, baking powder and baking soda through a colander to sift; add the almonds and mix well.

Add the butter mixture into the flour mixture and mix well.

Put the mix on a buttered cookie sheet by spoonfuls.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400F for 12 to 15 minutes.

Cool the cookies on a wire rack.This recipe is taken from CDKitchen. Minoo, thank you for leading the community kitchen.
