Pre-heat oven 170-180 degrees
Zest lemon – speed 9, 20 sec – scrape down speed 9, 10 sec (this is only necessary depending on how fine you like it) Set aside for use later
Pre-mill almond meal – 20 sec, speed 9 Set aside for use later
Cream butter and sugar – 45 sec, speed 5 add egg and vanilla mix 40 sec, speed 5
Add flour, almond meal and lemon zest turning slowly from speed 1 to 5 until combined.
Mixture will look like pastry, bit crumbly
Place onto mat and mould into shape.
Do not handle too much with hands (use TM spatula to work dough together).
Roll dough until it is approx fingernail width thick and use the MC to cut out round shape.
Place onto baking tray lined with baking paper and cook for approx 25min – 30min depending on how hot your oven is.
Place shortbread onto wire rack to cool.
Once cooled sprinkle with icing sugar or dip half into melted chocolate.
Enjoy!
Tip
Tip: If kitchen is hot or a hot climate the butter will start to melt, you will need to rest in fridge before working with the dough or you may need to increase flour

Thanks for the pick up it is 175 salted and 175 unsalted butter. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Hope you enjoy them.
Is it meant to be 350 grams of butter? or is it a double up on the ingredient...
Thanks
Emily
