1 cup almonds, toasted
2 and 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup honey
4 tbsp butter

Dump the almonds in the blender and grrrrind! Put them in a large bowl and add the flour, baking powder and salt, and stirrrrr! um.... ok, I'll cut down the  R's....

Beat 2/3 cup honey, oil and 3 tablespoons 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 the oven to 350 degrees. Get ready with all the baking stuff (baking trays, baking sheets, etc)

Roll the dough into cookie shapes, or just let your imagination roll and go crazy with funky shapes. Bake them in batches until they're golden brown on the under-side, like 13-15 mins. Let them cool down on a wire rack.

Call Santa over for tea ;) Enjoy!
