Almond Walnut Cookies


Almond Walnut Cookies

These cookies keep almost forever in a sealed container. Over time, they become softer and chewier--perfect for dunking in your tea or coffee. Makes four dozen.

2 cups raw honey
2 cups ground walnuts
4 cups almond flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup dried fruit chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease cookie sheets, or line with parchment paper.

Warm honey in a saucepan. Let mixture cool slightly.

Sift together flour and spices. Place honey in mixing bowl; gradually add flour mixture and stir until well blended. Stir in dried chopped fruit.

Roll dough about 1/4-inch thick on a floured board; cut into squares and rectangles with a pastry wheel or sharp knife. (If you prefer, you can also make drop cookies, dropping the dough by teaspoonful.) Bake ten minutes.
