# Ingredients:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1 cup almond flour
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 3/4 cup granulated sugar
07 - 1 large egg
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
09 - 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
→ For Decoration
10 - 1/2 cup sliced almonds
11 - 1/2 cup powdered sugar
12 - 2 tablespoons lemon juice
13 - Festive colored sugar or sprinkles
# Instructions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt.
03 - Beat unsalted butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
04 - Add the egg, pure vanilla extract, and grated lemon zest to the butter-sugar mixture. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
05 - Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until dough comes together without overworking.
06 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll each into a ball. Arrange balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
07 - Lightly flatten each dough ball with your palm and press sliced almonds onto the surface.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
09 - Combine powdered sugar with lemon juice in a small bowl until a smooth glaze forms. Drizzle glaze over cooled cookies and adorn with festive colored sugar or sprinkles.
10 - Let the cookies stand until the glaze is set before serving or storing.
