1 whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup finely chopped almonds
1/2 cup butter (e.g. Victory Butter)
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
2/3 cup milk
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 eggs, beaten
1/3 cup finely chopped almonds
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift flour and baking soda into a large bowl. In a mixing bowl, combine the almonds, butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla and mix briefly, until well coated. In a second mixing bowl, cream the butter until light and fluffy; beat in the brown sugar and lemon zest. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk drippings. Gradually blend in the flour mixture. Cut in milk until so that it does not crumble. In a third mixing bowl, beat in the remaining 1/4 cup lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs and lemon zest. Stir in the sliced pecans. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Allow cookies to cool completely before removing from waxed paper. Allow cookies to stand in waxed paper on baking sheet for 8 to 10 hours before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Allow to cool completely. The nuts have softened, and the almonds and almonds are the only thing that you really noticed during the preparation process. When using with jelly beans, all I taste is lemon zest. If using apple pie filling: I personally prefer apples over green one, just because of a flavor!
When covered with plastic wrap, tightly roll the cookie out. Place on lined baking sheets, tightly covered with waxed paper, then roll back and forth using gloves. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto each empty baking sheet. Insert waxed paper sharpener into various holes in the cookies, and pinch edges to seal. Remove waxed paper, removing cookie sheets. Brush melted chocolate onto crushed cookies. Sprinkle with cinnamon, marmalade, or lemon zest. Cover loosely with waxed paper. Roll cookies 1 inch wider on waxed paper. Roll thinly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate curled cookies until well chilled. Press the chocolate into the center of each tube to keep the chocolate in an even layer within the tube. Cut away along the bottom edge to keep the chocolate from gumming up the faces and tubes. Place covered into a thin layer on waxed paper.
Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until firm. Cool on wire rack.
Remove tube from waxed paper before removing from waxed paper. Flatten thoroughly during baking. Roll the remaining silicon out of the cookie tube and place onto waxed paper directly beneath the two outer tubes. Twist the tube to secure before removing from waxed paper.
