Yield Makes about 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
6 tablespoons finely ground almonds
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a bowl with an electric mixer cream together the butter and 1 cup of the sugar and beat in the egg, the zest, and the almonds. Beat in the flour, a little at a time, beat the dough until it is combined well, and chill it, covered for 2 hours. Form the dough into walnut-size balls and arrange them 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheets. Dip the bottom of a glass, moistened, in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and with it press down on the cookies, flattening them to about 2 inches in diameter. Bake the cookies in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden around the edges, transfer them to racks, and let them cool.

These cookies are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of butter to the dough next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The almond flavor really balances out the lemon.

I had a hard time finding almond extract at my local grocery store. I ended up using vanilla extract instead and the cookies still turned out great.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

I love that these cookies are so easy to make. I was able to whip up a batch in less than an hour. They're also really versatile. I've added chocolate chips, dried cranberries, and even toffee bits to them before, and they always turn out great.
