Yield 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c whole almonds
1 1/4 cups whole-wheat pastry flour
1 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2/3 c plus 1/4 c honey, divided
1/3 c canola oil
4 Tbsp. unsalted butter at room temperature, divided
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Toast whole almonds: Spread on a cookie sheet and bake at 350F, stirring once, 7-9 min. Finely grind toasted almonds in a food processor or blender. Transfer to a large bowl and add whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking power, and salt; stir until just combined. Beat 2/3 c honey, the oil, and 3 Tbsp. butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Add egg and vanilla and beat until blended.. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients; stir to combine. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. Preheat oven again to 350F. Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray. Roll tablespoons of dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Press the tip of your index finger into the center of each cookie to make an indentation. Bake the cookies, in batches, until set and barely golden on the bottom, 13-15 min. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool for 30 min. Cook sliced almonds in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until lightly browned, 2-4 min. Mix remaining 1/4 c honey and 1 Tbsp. butter in a small bowl until creamy. Use 1/4 tsp. to fill each cookie and top with two sliced almonds.
