    Yield: 24 Cookies

    8 oz Butter (225 g); softened
    5 oz Caster sugar (150 g)
    1 Lemon; zest only
    9 oz Plain flour (250 g)

    with baking parchment.

    Using an electric hand-whisk, beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest
    together in a large bowl until pale and fluffy.

    Beat in the flour, almonds and cardamom until the mixture is well
    combined and comes together to form a stiff dough.

    Roll the dough into 24 balls and place 12 on each baking tray make
    sure you leave space between each one.

    Press each cookie with a cookie stamp or the bottom of a glass to
    flatten and leave decorative indentations in the dough.

    Bake a tray at a time for 12 to 14 minutes until the cookies are pale
    golden brown.

    Leave them to cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a
    wire rack. They will crisp up as they cool. Store the cookies in an
    airtight tin and eat within 7 days.
