Ingredients

• 12 oz of whole almonds
• 6 oz of powdered sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 small lemon
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 1 tablespoon of cooking oil for rolling
• few whole almonds for decoration

Preparation

• Grind the almonds in a grinder until you get an almond powder with a fine texture.
• Grate the peel of the lemon to get the lemon zest.
• Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites.
• Mix the egg yolks with the almond powder, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and the baking powder.
• Beat the egg whites until you obtain a thick white foam.
• Incorporate the egg whites in the egg yolks mixture. Use your hand to mix the dough to ensure that all ingredients are well incorporated.
• To roll the macaroons, put some cooking oil in your hands so that the dough does not stick to them. Take a small amount of the dough and roll it in a ball, flatten it a bit, and place it in a baking pan with wax paper.
• Preheat your oven at 350 F and bake the macaroons for 15 minutes.

Note: When still hot, the macaroons are very soft, their texture will change as they cool down.
