Fave Dei Morti (Almond Cookies With Cinnamon & Rum)

• 7 ounces (200 grams) almonds or almond meal
• 3/4 cup (100 grams) flour
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
• 1 medium-large egg
• 2 tablespoons (30 grams) butter
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 shot rum

1. If using whole almonds, peel the almonds by blanching them first, then pop the skins off. Let them air dry or place in a warm oven until dry, then blitz in a food processor until extremely fine and it resembles sand. If using pre-prepared almond meal, head straight to the next step.
2. Combine all the ingredients together until you have a smooth, compact dough. If it is too crumbly, add some warm water, a very little bit at a time until the dough comes together.
3. Roll walnut-sized pieces of dough into balls and place on a lined baking tray. Flatten each ball into a disc and bake at 350u0b0F for 10-15 minutes or until dry to the touch and hardened but not too browned. Once cool, keep in an air tight container. These go very well with coffee or dessert wine.
