The cookies with almond flour and honey are delicate, enveloping treats, perfect for those who want a sweet indulgence without using butter. They stand out for their balanced texture — soft to the bite yet slightly crisp on the outside — and can win over even the most demanding palates. They are ideal at any time of day: for breakfast, a sweet break, or to serve after a meal. Excellent with a hot tea or a good coffee, they also lend themselves to delightful variations, such as adding dark chocolate flakes to the dough for an even more indulgent touch. To preserve their fragrance and flavor, store them in an airtight container; they are also perfect as a gift idea.

Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 6 1/2 tbsps granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour ("00" style)
- 1 cup almond flour
- a pinch of salt
- 2 1/2 tbsps honey
- grated zest of one lemon
- 1 tbsps baking powder
- 1 egg (for glazing)
- unsweetened cocoa powder
Steps
Place the eggs in a large bowl and add the granulated sugar. Using a whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes frothy and light in color.
Pour the oil in a thin stream while continuing to mix, then incorporate the honey. Add the almond flour and the sifted all-purpose flour mixed with the baking powder. Add a pinch of salt and the grated lemon zest.
Start mixing with a spatula and, when the dough begins to take shape, knead it with your hands until you obtain a homogeneous and slightly sticky mixture. If necessary, add a few more tablespoons of flour, keeping the dough soft and easy to work with.
Preheat the oven to 338°F (fan/convection setting). On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, take small portions of dough (about 3/4 oz each), form balls and slightly flatten them with your hands or the back of a spoon.
Beat the egg together with 1 tablespoon of cocoa and brush the surface of the cookies with the mixture. Bake and let cook for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Then remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. The almond flour and honey cookies are ready to be served.
