Ingredients

- 60g butter, room temperature

- 200g flour

- 100g almonds

- 50g of honey

- 1 egg

- 1 teaspoon of Marsala wine or rhum

- zest of half orange

- 1 pinch of salt

- cinnamon

- some almonds to decorate

- 50g of dark chocolate to decorate

Use a food processor to grind the almond really well.

In a bowl put the flour and the soft butter.

Mix with a mixer. Add the almond mixture.

Add the zest of half orange. Weigh the honey (if your honey is too dense you can gently warm it up in the microwave).

Add the honey, the egg and a teaspoon of Marsala wine.

Mix with a fork first and then with your hands until you form a ball.

Wrap the ball and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30min.

Make half of the dough flat with a rolling pin. With a biscuits shape cutter make the bisuits. Place them in a oven tray over a baking paper sheet. Cut the almonds in half and add one on top of each biscuit.

Make flat the second half of the dough. Cut out some smaller biscuits.

Place them in a oven tray over a baking paper sheet. Cook in the oven for 15 min at 180°C (350F).

Let them cool at room temperature. The big ones are ready to be served.

Decoreate the small ones. Melt the dark chocolate in a pot.

With a spoon cover half of the biscuit with the chocolate. Place them on a baking paper and let them cool for an hour. Store the biscuits in a tupperware. Serve Cold.
