Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups sifted cake flour (about 7 oz)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
  • 4 to 5 tbsp ice water
  • cooking spray

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°.
  2. To prepare filling, combine first 7 ingredients in a food processor; pulse 6 times or until combined and almonds are finely chopped. Remove almond mixture from food processor; set aside. Wipe processor bowl and blade with a paper towel.
  3. To prepare dough, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor; pulse 3 times. Add butter; pulse 4 times or just until combined. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, pulsing just until combined. (Mixture may appear crumbly but will stick together when pressed between fingers.)
  4. Shape dough into 24 balls. Place dough 2 inches apart on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Press thumb in center of each ball to form an indentation. Fill each indentation with about 1 teaspoon almond mixture. Bake at 325° for 20 minutes or until set. Remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
