Yield Makes about 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 1/4 cups whole blanched almonds (1 1/2 pounds)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh lemon or orange zest
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup lemon or sweet orange marmalade
Garnish: confectioners sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Pulse 3 3/4 cups (1 1/4 pounds) almonds with sugar, zest, and baking powder in a food processor until finely ground. Add egg whites, honey, and marmalade and blend just until dough forms a ball (dough will be very sticky).
  • Roll tablespoons of dough into 1-inch balls and arrange about 1 inch apart on 2 parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Flatten each ball into a 1 1/2-inch round with moistened fingers.
  • Gently press a whole almond into center of each cookie. Bake in middle of oven until tops of cookies are light brown, about 20 minutes, then cool on baking sheets on racks.
  • Dust with confectioners sugar.

These cookies are a great make-ahead snack. I make a batch on the weekend and then enjoy them throughout the week.

I've tried this recipe a few times and I can never get the cookies to turn out right. They always end up being too dry or too crumbly.

I'm not a big fan of almond cookies, but these were surprisingly good. They were soft and chewy, with a nice almond flavor.
