Making Citrus Almond Cookies

Bright, lemony almond cookies that are easy to make

My visiting relatives have taught me how to make a few delicious things in the kitchen, mostly sweets!

The first one was quite easy, citrus almond cookies that are bright in flavour and look pretty with icing sugar sprinkled on top.

Dough sprinkled with icing sugar

The ingredients include grated lemon rind, sugar, olive oil, almond flour, eggs and flour that are mixed together.

A pro tip is to get a melon baller to portion out the dough as equally as possible, but also to shape them as round as possible.

Before they are put in the oven, icing sugar is sprinkled on top.

After baking for about 12 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit, they are done! The end result are a firm exterior and soft interior with a lemony taste.

Ingredients:

Grated rind of 1 lemon or 1 orange

1 cup caster sugar

1/3 cup olive oil

2 lightly whisked eggs

2 tablespoons lemon juice/orange juice

2 cups almond meal

1 cup plain flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda
