Ingredients

1 ½ cups whole almonds

½ cup salted butter

¾ cup light brown sugar

¼ cup honey

5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

12 oz semi-sweet chocolate*

Directions

Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with Silpat liners.

Grind Almonds: Add almonds to a food processor and pulse several times until the texture of breadcrumbs (but not so much that you make almond butter!)

Make Batter: Heat butter, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan until melted. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in flour, vanilla, and almonds. Allow cookie batter to rest for 5 minutes.

Bake: Drop rounded 1 teaspoons of batter, 3 inches apart, on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 7-8 minutes until golden brown, watch them close so they don't over-bake!.

Cool: Lift the Silpat with cookies up and off the hot baking sheet and onto your counter to cool (to stop them cooking!). Once cooled off, transfer to wire rack.

Assemble: Melt chocolate in the microwave or double boiler. Allow chocolate to cool for about 15-20 minutes. Then spoon a thick layer of chocolate onto a cookie, sandwich gently with another cookie. Allow to set.
