Directions
Melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in honey, milk and almond extract; set aside to cool.
Combine 1¼ cups of almonds and the brown sugar in a food processor. Process just until nuts are texture of coarse meal.
Add cooled butter mixture to the processor. Process until smooth. Add flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Processor just until mixture is combined.
Scrape into a bowl. Stir in remaining 1¼ cups almonds. Line a 9 x 9 x 2 inch square baking pan with plastic wrap. Place dough in pan and pat level. Place in freezer for 20 minutes or until firm.
Heat oven to 350℉ (180℃). Lightly coat baking sheets with nonstick vegetable spray. Remove the firm dough from pan. Starting at any side, cut ¼ inch slices. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets, placing them ½ inch apart.
Bake in a 350℉ (180℃) oven for 18 minutes or just until golden. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Drizzle with glaze.
For glaze: Mix together confectioners' sugar and almond extract in a small bowl. Gradually stir in 6 teaspons of water or just enough to make a thin glaze.
Makes 3 dozen cookies.
