About 11 dozen cookies

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugars together until smooth. Stir in the honey, eggs and ground almonds. Combine the flour and the baking soda. Stir into the butter mixture until combined.
2. Pinch off a piece of dough the size of a walnut. Roll it between your palms to form a cigar shape. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Repeat, placing cookies 2 inches apart. Push a slivered almond into the center of each cookie. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
3. Immediately transfer cookies to a rack to cool. Cookies can be frozen in an airtight container, with wax paper between each layer, for up to 6 months. Defrost 30 minutes before serving.
