  • Vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in egg yolk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest.
  4. Whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to form a soft dough.
  6. Chill dough for 20–30 minutes until firm.
  7. Roll dough to 3–4 mm thickness and cut into rounds; cut centers from half.
  8. Bake cookies 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
  9. Cool completely on a rack.
  10. Spread jam on whole cookies and sandwich with cutout tops.
  11. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Chilling dough prevents spreading and keeps shapes defined.
Use thick jam to avoid leaking between layers.
Cookies taste even better the next day once softened slightly.
Store in an airtight container up to 4 days.
