similar to Hildegard von Bingen – is good against winter depression –

Mix the liquid honey with the spices such as cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, and ground or crushed allspice, and add the oil. Combine the flour with the butter and stir in the honey and spice mixture. Then knead in the chestnuts and the remaining ingredients, such as chopped almonds, hazelnut flour, and breadcrumbs, depending on the consistency and desired consistency. You can also omit the breadcrumbs entirely and reduce the amount of almonds and nut flour. Then refrigerate the mixture for about 3-6 hours or overnight. Then either form the coins in a mold or roll them into a roll, from which you cut the coins. Place the shapes on a greased or parchment-lined baking tray. If possible, place this tray in the refrigerator or in a cool place. Bake the coins at 200°C, Gas Mark 3, for about 10-15 minutes on the middle rack. Caution! They can go dark very quickly! You should eat a maximum of three of these cookies per day. This recipe is definitely not suitable for children due to the amount of nutmeg.
