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)

Almond Chocolate Chips Biscotti
Biscotti is an Italian traditional cookie — the word biscotti simply means cookies. Biscotti comes from a Mediaval Latin word, “bis costus” which means twice cooked. This is the only type of cookies I know that is baked twice — once as a slab and then the slices are re-baked again.
Biscotti is easy to make, easy to keep without going stale and delicious to eat. They’re also lower in fat and sugar than a traditional cookie.
The general hardness and crispy texture of biscotti makes the cookie ideal for dipping into coffee, tea or even wine. Here is my cup of coffee with a piece of Almond Chocolate Chips Biscotti. Yummy!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons margarine or butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almonds (whole or slivered or chopped, I used whole almonds)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
