I made this for a Christmas party. They were simple to make and delicious.

Recipe:

1 cup blanched or sliced almonds

2 cups (280 grams) all purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup (227 grams) (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

2/3 cup (135 grams) granulated white sugar, divided

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

2 large egg yolks

Zest of 1 lemon

Confectioners' (Icing or Powdered) Sugar for dusting

I used the recipe from here.

oooooh, they look heavenly. I really like the look of the recipe, I think I should try this. I did see at the weekend on UK TV a programme called something for the weekend, that made similar biscuits to these, but they used fresh clotted cream as well as jam in the centre. gorgeous!
