Directions:
- Preheat oven to 150°C (or 300°F).
- Place powdered sugar and egg whites in a mixing bowl and beat, using a whisk attachment on an electric mixer on high speed, until stiff (but not dry) peaks form- this may take while (up to 8 minutes- but may take less depending upon your mixer).
- Combine the lemon zest, the candied lemon peel, and the nuts, then gently fold in the egg whites mixture- do not overmix.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then set out the oblaten wafers.
- Place a 1 rounded Tbsp of cookie dough onto each oblaten in a mound.
- Bake about 20 minutes until light brown, in the center of the oven.
- If necessary, set a second (empty) cookie sheet in the rack directly above the cookies to help keep the tops from overbrowning.
- Remove from oven and let cool on wire racks.
- Melt chocolate in either a double boiler or in the microwave briefly until you can stir down the chocolate into a melted glaze (be careful not to burn if you use the microwave- chocolate tends to hold its shape even if it is melted inside when melted this way).
- Drizzle the tops of each cookie with the melted chocolate.
- If you prefer, you may melt even more chocolate and carefuly dip the cookies halfway.
- Let dipped cookies dry on a cooling rack.
- Pack into airtight containers.
- IF USING AMERICAN MEASUREMENTS: Use about 2 cups ground almonds, 2 1/3 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup candied lemon peel, and a couple of Hershey's milk chocolate bars (regular size)- or more.
