Nigel Slater's recipe for almond and marzipan biscuits
Briefly

This article presents a recipe for sweet Italian-style biscuits made with marzipan, lemon zest, and toasted almonds, ideal for Easter. The preparation takes 45 minutes, yielding around 20 cookies. The process involves combining marzipan with flaked almonds, sugar, and lemon zest before folding in beaten egg whites to create a delicate dough. After baking, the cookies have the best flavor and texture when consumed shortly after preparation while maintaining crispness for up to two weeks when stored correctly. The article notes the importance of allowing the cookies to rest post-baking for optimal quality.
The biscuits, sweetened with marzipan and flavored with lemon zest, are a delightful Easter treat that can be enjoyed fresh or crisp.
These cookies, once baked, should be consumed quickly for the best taste, as they change texture from soft to crisp after a few hours.
