ingredients you need:

1½ c. Sliced almonds

2 c. all-purpose flour

Zest of one lemon

½ tsp. fine sea salt

1 c. unsalted butter

1 c. confectioners' sugar

¾ tsp. almond extract

¼ c. chocolate chips

¼ c. Whole Almonds

2 tbsp. shelled sunflower seeds

Directions:

- Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a coffee grinder or food processor to grind 3/4 cups sliced almonds into a fine meal. In a large bowl, whisk ground almonds with flour, zest, and salt; set aside.

- Combine butter, sugar, and extract in a large bowl and beat, using an electric mixer, until smooth. Add flour mixture, and stir until combined. Divide dough in half. Flatten each piece into a 1/2-inch-thick slab and wrap tightly with plastic wrap; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

- Cut circles out of dough using a 2 1/2-inch diameter round cookie cutter. Place 2 inches apart on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Use scraps of dough to make 1/4 teaspoon rounded balls of dough for the eyes. Lightly press two balls onto the top of each circle and place a whole almond on its side between them for the beak. Insert a chocolate chip in each dough ball to make the pupil. Use sunflower seeds to make the owls' toes. Overlap 3 sliced almonds on each side for wings.

- Bake about 20 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through baking, until the edges of cookies are lightly golden. Let cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
