Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp baking powder.
  2. Step 2: In a separate large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 1/3 cup honey with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth.
  3. Step 3: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and honey, mixing on low speed until just combined into a soft dough.
  4. Step 4: Fold in 3/4 cup sliced almonds evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Step 5: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden around the edges and firm to the touch. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
