A translation of the French financier, a small almond cake built on brown butter, almond, and honey, into cookie form. The financier is one of the purest expressions in French patisserie, its entire character resting on three ingredients.

Here the dough carries caramelized dairy warmth in place of brown butter, wrapped around a honey almond cream that keeps the flavor register elegant and restrained. Finished simply, with a thin honey glaze.
