Advice
With the indicated dosages you will get about 20 cookies with almond mixture.
Since you’ll be using the outer peel, be sure to buy organic, not chemically treated, lemons. Remove the peel using a suitable grater, being careful not to remove the white part, which is responsible for the bitter aftertaste. If you want, you can replace the lemon with another citrus fruit, such as orange or tangerine.
You can also flavor the dough of your pinches with vanilla or ground cinnamon.
To avoid them becoming too flat during cooking, you should carefully respect the resting times in the refrigerator (for safety reasons, you can also extend them by a few hours).
If you love desserts with almonds, also try the sweets with almonds and oranges and the carrot and almond cake.
