Almond-Oat Lace Cookies

'1/2 cup whole natural unsalted almonds with skins', '2 tablespoons old-fashioned oats', '6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter', '6 tablespoons superfine sugar', '2 tablespoons (packed) light brown sugar', '1 1/2 teaspoons honey', '1 tablespoon all-purpose flour', '1/4 teaspoon kosher salt', '4 ounces bittersweet chocolate', 'melted'

Arrange racks in lower and upper thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line 2 rimless baking sheets with parchment paper. Pulse almonds and oats in a food processor until coarse meal forms. Set aside. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add both sugars and honey; whisk until blended and sugar dissolves, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add nut mixture, flour, and salt; stir until well blended. Spoon batter by 2-teaspoon portions onto baking sheets, spacing 2 1/2" apart. Using your fingertips, pat cookies down to 1/4"-high rounds; push in any jagged edges to form smooth circles. Bake, rotating sheets after 6 minutes, until dark golden brown and cookies spread out into a thin layer, 10-12 minutes. Slide cookies on parchment onto a wire rack and let cool. Using a pastry brush, brush half of each cookie with melted chocolate. Let stand until the chocolate is set, about 2 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight between sheets of parchment or waxed paper.
