Spiced Calabrian cookies with honey and almonds are chewy and aromatic. These traditional mediterranean treats are a family holiday baking tradition from southern Italy.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure even baking and easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground clove, salt, and lemon zest, mixing well to evenly distribute the spices.
Fold in chopped almonds to the dry mixture, then add the egg and honey, stirring until a sticky dough forms; mix thoroughly to ensure hydration.
On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough gently for 2–3 minutes; shape it into a 1-inch thick rectangle and cut into diamond shapes for uniform cookies.
Arrange cookies spaced apart on the prepared sheet, bake for 15–18 minutes until edges are golden and centers are slightly soft; cool on a rack to maintain chewy texture.
