Ingredients
Method
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C/gas 5.
2. Using either a hand whisk or electric hand whisk, whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl until it resembles thick cream.
3. Gradually add the almonds, candied orange peel, lemon rind, nutmeg and cinnamon and mix well.
4. Place rice paper onto a baking sheet and spoon approximately two tablespoons of the mixture per cookie, onto the rice paper.
5. Smooth the dough with a knife dipped into rose water to prevent it from sticking.
6. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until firm to touch.
7. Remove cookies and allow to cool slightly.
8. Mix the icing sugar with lemon juice to form a paste and drizzle over the warm cookies.

This recipe has something wrong with it!, It might be something to do with not adding any flour? I tried this recie to the word & their is no way that cookies or biscuts can be acheived from it.
