| 1. Preheat oven to 150°C (or 300°F). | 2. 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). | 3. Combine the lemon zest, the candied lemon peel, and the nuts, then gently fold in the egg whites mixture- do not overmix. | 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then set out the oblaten wafers. | 5. Place a 1 rounded Tbsp of cookie dough onto each oblaten in a mound. | 6. Bake about 20 minutes until light brown, in the center of the oven. | 7. If necessary, set a second (empty) cookie sheet in the rack directly above the cookies to help keep the tops from overbrowning. | 8. Remove from oven and let cool on wire racks. | 9. 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). | 10. Drizzle the tops of each cookie with the melted chocolate. | 11. If you prefer, you may melt even more chocolate and carefuly dip the cookies halfway. | 12. Let dipped cookies dry on a cooling rack. | 13. Pack into airtight containers. | 14. 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. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
