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

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.
