Rhubarb still lingers, which gave me the chance to improve on my pie filling with an unexpected guest: a Sonoma Pinot Noir (more commonly referred to as red wine). I had an urge to make crisp, flat almond crisps to scoop up the rhubarb sauce, but my freestyle recipe resulted in biscuit-like cookies filled with lemon zest and almond crunch.
Organic cane sugar – 1/2 cup organic cane sugar, or “regular” turbinado sugar
Eggs – 2 eggs
Butter – 1/3 cup melted butter
Vanilla extract – 1/4 teaspoon
Lemon juice – 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Lemon – Lemon zest from 1 lemon 1 cup ground, raw almonds (GreenSta
Almonds – 1 cup ground, raw almonds
All-purpose flour – 1/4 cup
Almonds – 1/4 cup coarsely chopped raw almonds
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease 2 baking sheets, or cover 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Put the eggs and sugar in a bowl and beat (with fork or electric mixer) until they are thoroughly mixed and the sugar dissolved.
Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, lemon juice and lemon zest to the sugar and eggs. Mix.
In a separate bowl, mix the ground almonds and flour. (You can use a food processor to grind about 1 and 1/4 cup of raw almonds into a fine and slightly coarse flour).
Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, folding them in with a spatula.
Add the chopped raw almonds and mix in.
Drop 1 tablespoon of batter at a time onto the baking sheets. Press down lightly with a spatula.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove and let cool on a cutting board, cooling rack, or plate.
