Utensils Used
| 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees positioning the rack in the center of the oven. | 2. Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. | 3. In a medium bowl, mix almonds, flour and zest. | 4. Heat a saucepan to medium heat and stir the sugar, butter, cream, and honey until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove from heat. | 5. Stir in the almond mixture. Cool for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using 2 teaspoons of batter for each cookie (it will not seem like enough, but the cookies will spread while cooking), spoon 8 mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten each one slightly with your finger. | 6. Bake the cookies about 10 minutes until they are lacy (holes in them) and golden brown. | 7. Slide parchment paper with cookies to a rack to cool completely. Then transfer the cookies to paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter. | 8. FREEZING: Cool completely and put in an airtight container in your freezer for up to two months! (Imagine having your holiday cookies done in October!). Defrost before continuing with recipe. | 9. SANDWICH COOKIES: Stir the chocolate in a double boiler (or bowl set over simmering water) until the chocolate melts. Spread the melted chocolate over the bottom of 1 cookie and then sandwich with another cookie. Repeat with the remaining cookies. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
