Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F) top and bottom heat.

  2. Wash the lemon in hot water and finely grate about 1 tsp of zest.

  3. Squeeze the juice from the whole lemon.

  4. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar and the lemon juice until thick and frothy.

  5. Add the almonds and the lemon zest and work into a smooth dough.

  6. Roll the dough between 2 sheets of cling film to about 4-5 mm thickness and cut out hearts.

  7. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and finish baking in the oven at 175° C for about 12 minutes.

  8. The cookies are still very warm after baking; let them cool slightly, then they will harden and won't break so easily.
