Ingredient List
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- Grated peel of 1 lemon
- Grated peel of 1 orange
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 2 tablespoons blanched and ground almonds
- 1/2 cup Mountain High® original or lowfat plain yoghurt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar
Preparation
- In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and lemon and orange peel on medium speed about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add almond extract, ground almonds, and yoghurt. Mix until just blended.
- Combine remaining ingredients except for powdered sugar in a small bowl. Add to butter mixture. Blend on low speed, scraping bowl frequently, just until mixed. Cover dough with plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 2 hours for easier handling.
- Place cookie dough onto a floured surface. Roll out dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with a 3-inch cookie cutter and place 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350°F for 15 to 18 minutes. Remove cookies to cooling racks; cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar.
