Lemon Almond Hearts | |
Ingredients:3 egg yolks2/3 cup (125 g) superfine sugar 2 cups (250g) ground almonds Finely grated zest of 1 organic unwaxed lemon Confectioner’s sugar Egg, beaten, for the glaze For decoration:150 g confectioner’s sugarWater or lemon juice to mix M&M’sTM or similar colorful chocolate candy Preparation:Preheat the oven to 350°F.In a bowl combine egg yolks and sugar with an electric whisk for 1 minute until the mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in the ground almonds and lemon zest to make a firm dough. Generously sprinkle a sheet of non-stick baking parchment with confectioner’s sugar and roll out the dough. Using a heart-shaped pastry cutter, stamp out as many shapes as you can (re-rolling the trimmings to make more cookies) and place on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking parchment. Mark the outside edge of each heart with the prongs of a fork and brush with egg wash. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden-brown. Cool on a wire rack. Mix the confectioner’s sugar with enough water or lemon juice to create a thick icing. Ice the center of each heart and decorate with colorful chocolate candies (such as M&M’sTM) and leave to set. |
