Cream soft fat and 125 g sugar with the whisk of the hand mixer. Mix flour, ground almonds and lemon peel and knead into the fat mixture. Form equal-sized rolls of approx. 3 cm Ø from the dough on a floured work surface. Wrap the rolls in foil and put them in the fridge for about 1 hour. Cut rolls into slices of approx. 1 cm thick.

Mix vanillin sugar and other sugar. Press the top of the cookies into the sugar mixture while still hot. Let them cool down on a grid
