Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 c. finely chopped almonds
  • 3/4 c. sugar
  • 1 T. all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 egg, beaten to blend
  • parchment paper

Method

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in nuts, sugar, flour, orange peel, and salt. Then stir in egg. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined baking sheet, spacing 3 inches apart (cookies will spread). I normally get 8 cookies on my tray.
  • Bake cookies until lacy and golden brown, about 12-15 minutes. Gently slide parchment paper with cookies onto cookie rack to cool completely. Transfer cookies onto paper towels. Repeat with remaining batter, lining cooled baking sheet with clean parchment paper for each batch. Store cookies between sheets of waxed paper in airtight container at room temperature.
