Happy Yule all!!
December thus far as been very full of bronchitis, traveling and planning for the solstice bash that we threw on Friday. You know before the world ended. Except it didn't.
Good thing really, it gives me more time to enjoy these grain and dairy free Almendrados and hopefully you will as well as soon as you make them.
These are very easy to whip up. Some might say too easy...
Almendrados
preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Mix together ~
2.5 cups almond flour
1 t cinnamon
4 t lemon zest
1/2 cup honey [add two more tablespoons if you want them sweeter]
1 egg
sprinkle of salt
This forms a soft sticky dough. If needed chill it so that you can handle it with ease.
Form dough into walnut shaped blobs, dust with more cinnamon, and press an almond down in the center of the cookie. This movement will flatten the cookie into a disc.
Bake these on a parchment paper lined baking sheet for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden.
These freeze well and are heavenly with coffee.
makes 2 dozen
Wishing everyone a very happy, peaceful and sweet end to December. xox
