You'll go nuts for these scrumptious treats, made with almond butter and toasted almonds for an update on the beloved peanut-butter sandwich cookie. The make-ahead icebox dough is cut into thin rounds that are perfect for pairing and filling. Martha made this recipe on "Martha Bakes" episode 809.

Steps:
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, with an electric mixer, beat butter on medium-high, 1 minute. Add almond butter; beat until smooth. Beat in brown sugar, then egg, until well mixed. Reduce speed to low and gradually add flour mixture until just combined. Stir in almonds.
- Form dough into an 11-inch-long log, 1 3/4 inches in diameter. Wrap in parchment and freeze until firm, about 1 hour (or up to 3 months).
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using a chef's knife, slice log into scant 1/4-inch-thick rounds, using one quick motion for each slice. (For easier slicing, keep log frozen between batches of cookies.) Arrange rounds 1 1/2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets, pressing back into shape as needed.
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are light golden on edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks. Cookies can be stored, covered, up to 5 days.
- With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, honey, and vanilla on medium until combined. Spread 1 tablespoon each on the bottoms of half of the cookies, then sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently to spread filling to edges. Filled cookies are best the same day.

RHUBARB COOKIES
If you make one thing this rhubarb season, it needs to be these cookies. They are crunchy and salty on the outside and tender and chewy on the inside. They also have surprises like sweet white chocolate chips and crunchy chopped walnuts hidden in every bite. But the star of the show is the tangy, soft and beautifully pink rhubarb that is strewn throughout.

Steps:
- Sift the flour, kosher salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer (or using a stand mixer fitter with the paddle attachment) on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and yolk, then beat in the vanilla.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the dry ingredients and beat until well combined, about 1 minute. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, then fold in the rhubarb. Cover the bowl with a clean dish towel and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with reusable nonstick mats (or parchment).
- Use a 1-ounce ice cream scoop to scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart (you should have about 10 cookies, roughly 1 1/2 ounces each, per baking sheet). Sprinkle the sea salt on top of the dough balls.
- Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom and front to back halfway through, until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the middle, 14 to 16 minutes. Let cookies cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- Store the cookies in a tightly sealed container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Instructions
For the Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add in the almond flour mixture to the butter mixture, and mix until a dough forms.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet, flattening them slightly with your palm. Leave at least an inch between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
For the Rhubarb Jam:
- In a medium saucepan, add the rhubarb, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
For the Assembly:
- Dust a clean surface with almond flour and roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thick.
- Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut the dough into circles.
- Place half of the circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Add a dollop of rhubarb jam onto each circle, being careful not to spread it to the edges.
- Top each circle with another cookie and gently press down to create a sandwich.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
- Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired, and enjoy!
