Ingredients
5 oz. confectioner's sugar, sifted
2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla extract
7 oz ground almonds
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine sugar and beaten egg. Beat until mixture is white.
- In a separate bowl combine the almonds, lemon rind, vanilla extract and cinnamon. Gradually mix into sugar and egg mixture to make a dough.
- Knead dough soft and workable, about 5 minutes. Cover leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to a long cylinder shape about 1-1/2 inches thick. Cut into small pieces (about 2 dozen) and roll each into a small round ball.
- With oiled hands, flatten each dough ball into circles about 2-1/2 inches diameter.
- Place dough circles on an oiled baking sheet, leaving room to spread. Sprinkle with confectioners sugar and bake at 350 degrees (F) for 20 minutes, or until golden.
- Cool on wire rack.
