Directions
Beat together almond flour, salt, and butter until the mixture is coarse and chunky looking.
Add one egg, the almond extract, honey, and orange zest. Mix until just incorporated.
Sift together the flour, sugar, and baking soda, then gradually add to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap and wrap it. Place the dough in the fridge for at least two hours to chill.
Preheat the oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Crack the other egg into a bowl and beat it.
Take pieces of dough and roll them into balls about 3/4" wide. Place them on the sheet about an inch apart and press them down slightly with your palm to make them into a coin shape.
Place a slice of almond (or a few slices of almond) on top of each cookie and lightly press it in. Paint the surface of each cookie with some of the beaten egg using a pastry brush.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges just begin to tan. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!
