- 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Cups Unbleached Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Toasted Almond Flour

- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In large-size bowl beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- In small-size bowl combine unbleached flour and toasted almond flour. Slowly add flour mixture to butter mixture. Beat until dough just comes together.
