Recipe by Skye Gyngell These traditional almond cookies hail from Tuscany; their texture is chewy, similar to macaroons.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups slivered almonds 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 1/2 cup powdered sugar, divided, plus more for dusting 1 large egg white Pinch of kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden, 5 –8 minutes; let cool. Pulse almonds, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup powdered sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Whisk egg white and salt in a large bowl to medium peaks. Whisking constantly, gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar; whisk until egg white is very stiff but not dry. Fold in almond mixture and vanilla. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; using wet hands, flatten tops and press sides to make rounded diamond shapes. Chill 30 minutes. Bake ricciarelli until edges are lightly golden and firm and centers are still a little soft, 10 –12 minutes; let cool on baking sheet. Dust with powdered sugar.
