Crisp almond cookies, ideal for dipping into a glass of dessert wine. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
3 eggs |
1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 tablespoons lemon zest |
1 cup finely chopped almonds |
5 ounces almonds |
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine the flour, eggs, margarine, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and chopped almonds to form a smooth dough. Stir in the whole almonds.
2. Divide dough into 3 equal parts and roll each portion out into a cylindrical log shape. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place refrigerated rolls of dough onto a greased baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool then slice into 1/2 inch thick slices. Put cookies onto greased baking sheet and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. The cookies are very crisp when done.
