Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Blend the almonds with the icing sugar until you get a fine powder.
Add the lemon zest and vanilla, then mix in the eggs one at a time with a spatula.
If the dough is too soft, add the flour. It should be supple but still easy to shape by hand.
Form small balls about 3 cm wide, flatten them slightly and place them on a tray lined with baking paper.
Bake for 12 minutes: the edges should be golden and the centre still slightly soft.
Let them cool completely on a wire rack before dusting with icing sugar.
