3/4 cup slivered almonds
3 tbsp poppy seeds
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 tbsp honey
3 tbsp orange peel, grated
2 large egg yolks
Icing
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tsp pure vanilla extract

In a large bowl, stir together flour, almonds, poppy seeds and salt; set aside.
Combine butter, sugar and honey in a bowl; beat until light and fluffy. Add grated orange peel and egg yolks; beat until smooth. Add in flour mixture, 1 cup at a time; blend until incorporated.
