Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
2
Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.

3
Whip the soft butter with the powdered sugar, to a smooth, pale mixture.
⚙ WhippingBowlHand mixerorStand mixerorWhisk
💡Cream the butter soft, at room temperature: cold butter doesn't take in air, and melted butter doesn't hold it.
4
Add the egg, honey and vanilla and mix well.
5
Add the flour, ground almonds, cinnamon, baking powder and salt and mix just until a dough forms.
💡Mix in the flour only until a dough forms: long kneading develops gluten, and the cookies come out hard instead of crumbly.
6
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap until it holds together and chill 20 minutes.

Bake 15–18 minutes, until the cookies are golden at the edges.

💡Take the cookies out while they still look soft: they firm up as they cool, and long baking dries them out.
💡Check by the cue (until…), not just the clock: every oven bakes a little differently.

Cool on a rack: the cookies firm up as they cool.
