Ingrediants- 2 c. ground almonds 1/2 c. sugar 1 c. powdered sugar 1 egg lightly beaten 1 tbsp. lemon juice Directions- 1. mix almonds, sugar, and powdered sugar in a bowl. 2. work in the egg and lemon juice till stiff 3. turn onto a lightly sugared workspace 4.knead dough until really smooth

Is almond butter considered ground almonds? Is almond meal considered ground almonds? Are both acceptable?

Almond Flour/meal is simply blanched almonds ground into a fine powder. I use it in my recipe for Linzer cookies It can be referred to as almond powder as well.
