Old-fashioned lemon almond cookies bruber

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1½ Sticks unsalted butter; softened (3/4 cup)
1 cup Plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large Egg
1½ tablespoon Freshly grated lemon zest
6 tablespoons Finely ground almonds
1½ cup All-purpose flour

Directions

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.

Makes about 36 cookies.
