We suggest to prepare Friori di Mandorla – Sicilian Almond cookies.
Ingredients:
- 250g ready-made marzipan
- 100g sugar
- 1 egg white
- Grated zest of lemon or orange

Instructions:
Homemade marzipan: If you’re making the cookies with homemade marzipan, you’ll need 400g almonds and 200g powdered sugar. Pour boiling water over the almonds and let them sit for a while. Once the water has cooled, peel the almonds. Grind the peeled almonds in a blender until they become a powder. Mix with powdered sugar and add a little water. Knead the marzipan mixture until it becomes smooth and homogeneous.
- Mix the marzipan with sugar and egg white. Add a little grated zest of orange or lemon.
- Divide the mixture into small portions, roll them in powdered sugar, place them on a baking sheet, and bake in the oven at 180-200°C.

Notes:
- Zest: The zest of lemon or orange adds a citrusy flavor to the cookies.
- Baking: Baking time may vary depending on the size of the cookies and your oven.
