Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar devided 1/2 in with flour and 1/2 for rolling the dough balls in
  • 2 lemons juice and zest
  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup confectioners sugar for rolling the dough balls in

Instructions
 

  • Set the oven at 350° F
    Line the baking sheet with parchment paper
    Add the almond flour  and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar to a mixing bowl. Stir them together with a spoon or a whisk to get any lumps broken up. Now add the zest, the juice and the egg white. Stir it all together until a paste forms.
  • In two separate shallow bowls put the remaining granulated sugar in one and the confectioners sugar in the other.Scoop up about a tablespoon of the dough. And roll it into a ball between your palms. Then roll it first in the granulated sugar and then in the confectioners sugar.
  • Put them in the baking sheet and squash them down just a little. Put them in the oven for 15 minutes. They are going to feel under done and loose but they will firm up as they cool off. Let them cool of in the baking sheet for about a half hour.
