Preparation:
In a medium sized bowl, mix together flour, sugar, whole almonds, finely ground almonds, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, blend together the honey, water and extract, then add to dry ingredients and mix well until well-blended.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Divide dough in half and form each portion into a log about 12 x 2 x 3/4-inch.
Place logs onto baking sheet coated with non-stick spray. Bake 30 minutes; remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes.
Place log on cutting board and with a serrated knife, cut log diagonally into 1/2-inch slices, using a sawing motion.
