Lemon & pistachio cookies (Ma'akaroon) from Boustany: A Celebration of Vegetables from my Palestine (page 286) by Sami Tamimi

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Great taste! Make sure to use enough icing sugar.

    Really good cookies. I'm a sucker for any gooey nutty cookies and these deliver. A mix of ground pistachios and almonds with added flavor from lemon zest and preserved lemons. Press the cookies flat before they go in the oven - they don't spread out and get the crinkle effect otherwise. Also if freezing any balls, don't roll in icing sugar first as it will just get absorbed by the dough as they thaw out (as I discovered!).

    Great flavor, but they did not flatten like what was shown in the picture.
