Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chestnut flour, ground almonds, sugar, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
-
Add the Butter: Add the softened butter to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. You can use your hands or a pastry cutter for this step.
-
Incorporate the Flavor: Add the honey and vanilla extract to the mixture. Continue to mix until a smooth dough forms.
-
Shape the Sweets: Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball, then flatten it slightly to form a disc shape. Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
-
Bake the Sweets: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the formed sweets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are set and lightly golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the sweets are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Dust them with powdered sugar for a festive touch before serving.
