Prep Time: 25 min

Cook time: 30 min

Yield: ~ 24 cookies

Ingredients

• 155g almond flour

• 75g powdered sugar

• 25g all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp lemon zest ~ one lemon's worth

• 200g marzipan (almond paste)

• 1 egg white

• 30mL milk

• 3-4 drops almond extract

• sliced almonds

Directions

1. Combine the marzipan, egg white, milk and almond extract in the bowl of your stand mixer.

2. While it mixes, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder & lemon zest in a separate small bowl.

3. Once the wet ingredients are blended together evenly, add the dry ingredients in two batches, mixing between additions to make sure all the dry ingredients are incorporated.

4. Use a cookie scoop to portion out the dough balls. Roll each dough ball between your palms and then in sliced almonds.

5. Place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake at 350F for 12-15 min or until lightly browned on the bottoms.

6. Transfer to a wire rack and allow to cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar & serve or store in a tin lined with wax paper.

• If you've got it on hand, omit the milk and add a Tablespoon of Amaretto or any other almond flavoured liquor.
