Lemon & almond cookies
These are delicious and very easy to make. They happen to be gluten-free as there's no wheat flour in them. One of our daughters made them for us recently, and she gave us the recipe.
Our recipe is much simpler than the one given here ... www.panningtheglobe.com/2014/03/24/flourless-almond-cooki...
Ingredients:
2 cups (200g) ground almonds
Two thirds cup sugar (my wife uses castor sugar)
1 large egg
zest of 1 lemon
24 blanched almonds for tops of cookies
Pre-heat oven to 180 deg C. Mix the all the ingredients (except the whole almonds) together until sticky. Make 24 balls, and press a whole almond into the top of each cookie. Bake for 16 mins. Cool for 5 mins and then transfer to a cooling rack.
If you like more lemon flavour, then you could add some more lemon zest to the mixture, of course.
Enjoy!
