 What a joy!Can you believe one of my favourite women in the world is on the VOGUE cover!And she definitely deserves it! Meryl Streep photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Force of Nature Editorial in latest Vogue.  The multitalented  actress now takes on British Margaret Tetcher in new movie coming soon! Meryl is famous for many things, and this minute I can't not to share with you her recipe of amazing cookies (Yes, she does that too!)  that i did many times. They make me feel like I'm drinking coffee at Streep's own home:)

 Ingredients
1 1/2 c. butter (3 sticks), softened
3/4 c. honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2/3 c. almonds, finely ground
1 3/4 c. whole wheat flour
1 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
Jam or preserves for filling (optional)

Directions
1. In large bowl, with mixer on medium speed, cream butter, honey, and vanilla. Add almonds and flours, and mix until well blended. Divide dough into 4 pieces; wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 325° F. On lightly floured waxed paper, roll 1 piece dough 1/8 inch thick. With 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut dough into hearts; transfer to cookie sheet. Wrap and refrigerate trimmings. If filling cookies with jam, make a shallow thumbprint in center of each cookie, then spoon a dab of jam into each thumbprint.
3. Bake cookies 12 to 14 minutes or until browned at edges. Let cookies remain on cookie sheet 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough and trimmings. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
