HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

02

In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

03

In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the egg, then stir in the orange blossom water and lemon zest.

04

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft, pliable dough forms. Do not overmix.

05

Roll small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) into balls.

06

Roll each dough ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.

07

Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between them.

08

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies are set but still soft in the center.

09

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tips

For an extra floral note, you can add a tiny drop of rose water along with the orange blossom water. Ensure your almond flour is finely ground for the best texture.
↔

Easy Substitutions

If you don't have orange blossom water, you can use an equal amount of orange juice and a tiny bit of vanilla extract, though the flavor profile will be slightly different. For a nut-free option, sunflower seed flour can be used, but the texture and taste will vary significantly.
