Almond Cookies

In my romanticized memories, the air in Marrakech smells like orange blossoms and almonds, a blend of Creamsicle sweetness and sophisticated bitterness. The pairing of the two flavors is quintessentially Moroccan, popular in both savory and sweet dishes. These delicately spiced almond-based cookies are finished with an icing that combines the aroma of orange blossoms and the more intense kick of orange zest. As a bonus, they are gluten free, as well as quick and easy to make.
