Ingredients

Immediately add it to a medium bowl to cool for 5 minutes. Line the baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper and set aside.
  3. To the toasted flour add the remaining 2 cups of almond flour, the sugar, honey, salt, lemon zest, limoncello and egg. Using a rubber spatula, stir until well combined and a dough is formed.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or golden brown and just set. Allow to cool slightly on the tray for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
