Directions

1. First place the almonds in the blending pitcher of your KitchenAid® 5-Speed Hand Blender and process on high speed with the chopper attachment until finely ground.
2. Then, in the bowl of your KitchenAid® Stand Mixer, use the flat beater to cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract to incorporate. Add the sifted flours, ground almonds and orange zest and mix until the dough comes together.
3. Place the dough onto a floured surface and knead into a ball, divide dough in half with a Professional Series 8″ Chef’s Knife from the KitchenAid® 7pc Professional Series Cutlery Set. Roll each half into a log about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
