Into a big mixing bowl, or in a bowl of a stand mixer, add the room temperature butter, lemon zest, and sugar.

Cream it for 2-3 minutes or until it’s creamy and light in color.

Add the egg yolk, kosher salt, and vanilla extract.

Cream the butter until the mixture is creamy and light.

Add the flour and the almond flour.

Mix until the mixture is just combined and you can't see pockets of flour.

After letting the dough chill in the fridge for at least an hour, take one dough half out of the fridge. Start rolling the dough on a floured clean surface to about ¼ inch thick.

Using cookie cutters, cut as many cookies as you can.

Carefully transfer the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the edges are starting to turn golden.

Place about ½ teaspoon of jam or your favorite filling on the center of each whole cookie.

Carefully top each cookie with the powdered sugar cookie and create a sandwich cookie.
