Instructions
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest together until creamy.
- Add egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract and mix to combine.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, almond flour, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Pat dough into two equal sized discs and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. After an hour, let one dough ball sit on the counter for 5-10 minutes to soften a little. Preheat oven to 350.
- On a floured surface, roll the dough out about 1/6" thick and then cut out cookies (about 2-2 1/2 inches). You should be able to get about 15 cookies out of the dough. Gather the scraps and re-roll if needed. If dough becomes too sticky while working, stick it back in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Place cut out cookies on a baking sheet and put it in the fridge.
- Repeat the last step with the second dough ball, but before refrigerating use a small cookie cutter or the larger end of a piping tip to cut out a small hole from the middle of each cookie.
- Bake the first tray of cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges just barely turn golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Repeat with the second tray.
- Once the cookies are cooled, dust the tops (the cookies with the holes in the middle) with powdered sugar.
- Spoon a small amount (about 1/2 teaspoon) of either jam or curd on to the middle of the bottoms.
- Sandwich the tops and bottoms together and let sit for a few minutes so they can fully sandwich together.
Notes
- Get creative with the shapes! Use squares or holiday shapes to create fun and unique cookies.
- If using jam or preserves, try to use a seedless variety.
- Make your own jams and curds for an even tastier homemade cookie.
