Almond shortbread cookies
Ingredients:
350-400 g flour
150 g almond powder
250 g butter
1 cup sugar
½ teaspoon of natural vanilla extract
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Juice of ½ lemon
Preparation:
Beat butter and sugar in a bowl until creamy and smooth (for 3 minutes with a hand blender). Add lemon juice (maybe a little zest). Then, add the egg, cinnamon and vanilla. Work it all with the mixer for 2 minutes. Finally, gradually add the ground almonds and flour. Form a smooth dough and refrigerate for 1 night.
