Wheat free Chewy almond cookies

makes approx 21 large, 35 small

275 g ground almonds
50 g butter, low fat spread or margarine
160 g honey
1 egg, beaten
75 g sultanas
50 g walnuts, broken
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
½ pinch salt

preheat oven: 180°C, fan 160°C, 350°F, Gas 4

1. Line baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
2. Put all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix together until completely combined.
3. Put teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheets, for larger cookies make the teaspoonfuls quite generous. Leave plenty of space between cookies as they will spread during cooking.
4. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and leave on baking sheets for a few minutes to slightly set, then remove to cool completely on a baking cooling rack.

These cookies are best eaten on the day of making, but will keep in an airtight tin if you have some left over for tomorrow.
