Ingredients
- 50 g soft butter
- 0.75 dl (5 tbsp) granulated sugar
- zest of one orange
- zest of one lemon
- 1 tsp cardamom
- 1 egg
- 2.5 dl (about 1 cup) all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 0.75 dl (about 1/3 cup) slightly chopped almonds
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour and baking powder.
- Roughly chop the almonds. Add them and the flour mixture to the butter mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- On a parchment paper, form the dough into a log about 15 cm (6 inches) long. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for about 15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Lower the oven temperature to 100°C (210°F).
- Slice each log diagonally into about 12 pieces. Place them back on the baking sheet, cut side up.
- Dry in the oven for about 1.5 hours, flipping halfway through. Leave the oven door open now and then to let moisture escape.
