Steps:
- Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a heavy large baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the almonds, flour and zest in a medium bowl. Stir the sugar, butter, cream, and honey in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the almond mixture. Cool the batter for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Using 2 teaspoons of batter for each cookie, spoon 8 mounds of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing evenly apart (the cookies will spread). Flatten the batter slightly with your finger.
- Bake the cookies until they are lacy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Gently slide the parchment paper with the cookies onto a rack and cool completely. Transfer the cookies to paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter, lining the baking sheets with clean parchment for each batch. (The cookies can be made up to this point 2 months ahead. Cool completely, then store airtight in the freezer. Defrost before continuing.)
- Stir the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until the chocolate melts. Spread the melted chocolate over the bottom of 1 cookie. Top with a second cookie, bottom side down, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat with the remaining cookies and chocolate.

AIR-FRYER POTATO WEDGES
I love these air-fryer potato wedges because the outside gets golden brown and crispy while the interior stays fluffy and tender. Try them with steak, roasts or even burgers. -Linda Rock, Stratford, Wisconsin

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, choose potatoes that are roughly the same size.
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
- Rubbing the potatoes with olive oil before baking will help them crisp up.
- For a crispy skin, bake the potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or higher) for the first 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F to finish cooking.
- To prevent the spinach from becoming watery, squeeze out any excess moisture before adding it to the filling.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the spinach and artichoke hearts by hand.
- To make the sauce, use a combination of heavy cream and milk for a richer flavor.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese fresh for the best flavor.
- Serve the potatoes immediately after they are baked, while they are still hot and crispy.
