Method

Preheat oven to 350F.
In a mixing bowl, stir together almonds, flour, sugar,
salt, and
lemon peel.
With a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles
coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with lemon juice and brandy and mix lightly with a fork
until
blended. Mixture should be crumbly.
Spread mixture in a greased and flour-dusted
12-inch pizza pan or a 9 by 13-inch baking pan; do not press into pan.
Bake

minutes or until browned.
Let cool completely in pan on a rack. When cookie
is cooled,
wrap well (either in or out of pan) and let stand for at least a day. To serve,
break into
chunks. Store airtight.
