Honey Almond Tea Cookies

Gina DePalma was Mario Batali's pastry chef. She passed away recently from breast cancer. A cookbook collectors group I am in on Facebook decided to do a tribute to her this month by making one of her recipes either from her cookbook, her blog or other places on the web and then posting a photo of the recipe on the event page in the group.

I decided to make these cookies. Since the recipe makes 4 dozen I decided to make a half recipe. They are so good I should have went with a whole recipe. Even son and hubby enjoyed them. I sent half home with my daughter. I ended up with just a few over 2 dozen.

I didn't have almond flour for I just toasted and ground up some almonds. These were great with a cup of hot Chai tea, hubby enjoyed them with his coffee and son a glass of milk.
