Casa Mazal orders their almond cookies from a specialist Kosher baker, but this recipe should do the trick. Serve with dollops of jam and fresh mint tea.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup (1½ sticks/6 oz/170 g) butter, at room

Method

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy, then add the egg, beating well. Stir in the almonds, lemon zest, cinnamon, and poppyseeds. Mix thoroughly then add the flour, beating energetically to make a smooth dough. Refrigera
