Step 1 | |
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray a whoopie cookie pan with non-stick baking spray. | |
Step 2 | |
In a food processor, pulse your blanched almonds and walnuts until finely ground. Stir the nuts together with the flour and salt. | |
Step 3 | |
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, sugar, butter, and cream stirring occasionally. Bring to a rolling boil and let it boil one more minute. Add vanilla right before removing it from the heat. | |
Step 4 | |
Add the cream & sugars mixture to the almond, walnut, salt and flour mixture and stir to combine. Let cool 15-18 minutes until it is cool enough to handle. | |
Step 5 | |
Roll 1/2 tablespoon size balls of dough and place on lined baking sheets or whoopie cookie pans. If using baking sheets, make sure you place them 4-5 inches apart. These cookies will spread. Bake 10-11 minutes rotating the pans halfway through. Let cool for about 5 minutes and then transfer to a rack to cool. If you are having difficulty getting the cookies off the parchment paper or out of the pan, let it cool longer and they should come off easily. | |
Step 6 | |
For the chocolate drizzle, heat the chopped chocolate in a double broiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over each cookie. To make sandwich cookies, place a dollop of chocolate in between two cookies and sandwich together. Make sure you share! |
