Tuscan Almond Cookies (Ricciarelli)

['1 1/4 cups slivered almonds', '1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest', '1/2 cup powdered sugar, divided, plus more for dusting', '1 large egg white', 'Pinch of kosher salt', '1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract']

Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden, 5–8 minutes; let cool.
Pulse almonds, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup powdered sugar in a food processor until finely ground. Whisk egg white and salt in a large bowl to medium peaks. Whisking constantly, gradually add 1/4 cup powdered sugar; whisk until egg white is very stiff but not dry. Fold in almond mixture and vanilla. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet; using wet hands, flatten tops and press sides to make rounded diamond shapes. Chill 30 minutes.
Bake ricciarelli until edges are lightly golden and firm and centers are still a little soft, 10–12 minutes; let cool on baking sheet. Dust with powdered sugar.
