Total Time 2 hours 20 minutes

Prep Time 50 minutes

Cook Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Yield 18 chocolate-filled cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1?½ cups whole raw almonds
½ cup unsalted butter
¾ cup light brown sugar
¼ cup honey
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner (such as Silpat®).
  • Place almonds into the bowl of a food processor; alternate pulsing and running at full speed every few seconds until finely chopped and crumblike. Be careful not to go too far; you don't want them too fine and pasty.
  • Combine butter, brown sugar, and honey in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir a few times and cook until melted and dissolved. Bring to a boil, then carefully remove from the heat.
  • Add vanilla extract, salt, and flour, and whisk until smooth. Add chopped almonds and mix with a spatula until everything is combined.
  • Drop eight uniformly sized, rounded spoonfuls of batter (each about 2 teaspoons, or 15 grams) onto the prepared sheet. Fine-tune the cookie shapes and make sure they are evenly spaced.
  • Place in the center of the preheated oven and bake until golden brown and a bit darker around the outsides, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and slide the silicone liner off the baking sheet and directly onto the countertop. Allow to sit until cool and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes, then gently peel cookies off the liner. Repeat to bake remaining batches.
  • Spread melted chocolate over the flat side of one cookie. Place a second cookie, flat-side down, on top to make a sandwich and press very gently to seal. Repeat to form remaining cookies. Let sit until chocolate has firmed up, about 30 minutes.

Yield Makes about three dozen

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup honey
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup almonds, finely chopped
1 cup toasted hazelnuts, chopped
1 cup dried sour cherries, chopped
1/2 cup dried apricots, chopped
1 cup candied orange peel, chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of white pepper
Vegetable shortening, melted and cooled
1 pound best-quality bittersweet chocolate, such as Callebaut or Valrhona, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 325 degrees. Combine honey, sugar, and butter in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the temperature reaches 238 degrees (the soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine nuts, dried fruit, flour, and spices.
  • Pour honey-sugar mixture over contents in large bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon to combine. When cool enough to handle, form into 1-inch balls with hands coated with vegetable shortening to prevent sticking. Place on a baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat or parchment paper, and flatten into balls with the palm of your hand. Bake until bubbled on top, about 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Meanwhile, melt the chocolate: In the top of a double boiler or in a heat-proof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stir chocolate with a spatula until smooth. Working quickly, using a small offset spatula, spread a thick layer of chocolate on the back of each cooled cookie. Place cookies, chocolate side up, on a wire rack until chocolate is hardened. Store between layers of parchment paper in an airtight container.
