Ingredients:
3 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon good quality cinnamon
1 1/2 cups superfine or Baker's sugar
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup ground almonds
1/8 cup water
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicon liner or parchment paper.
Cream the butter, vanilla, lemon zest, cinnamon, and sugar. Add the egg white and beat. Stir in the flour and ground almonds. With the mixer running, add the water slowly until a dough forms. Add a little more, if necessary. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap or wax paper, and chill for 30 minutes.
Very lightly flour a work surface. Cut the dough into 4 parts. Working with one section at a time, roll it into a rope that is approx 1 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch sections and roll each piece into smaller ropes that are about 1/2-inch thick. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
Cool and dust with powdered sugar.
