Cook:
10 mins
60g blanched almonds, roughly chopped
60g candied orange peel, roughly chopped
zest of 1 oranges, finely grated
45g plain flour
60g unsalted or lightly salted butter
60g caster sugar
1 tbsp milk
Pour in the grated orange zest, flour, butter and sugar and blitz again. Add the milk and blend until the mix becomes a smooth dough.
Shape the dough into a 2.5 to 3.5cm diameter log. Wrap with plastic wrap then put in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
Heat the oven to 160°C. Line 2 baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.
Thinly cut the dough into slices and place them on the baking trays. Put in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes or until they take a nice golden colour around the edges.
Take the cookies out of the oven then move them onto a wire cooling rack. You can keep these cookies in an airtight tin for several days.
