Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Brown the Butter: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat, swirling occasionally, until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the Almond Flour, All-Purpose Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the browned Butter and Granulated Sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the Egg Yolks one at a time, then stir in the Meyer Lemon Juice, Meyer Lemon Zest, and Almond Extract.
Gradually add the Dry Ingredients to the Wet Ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Chill the dough for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball generously in the Powdered Sugar, ensuring it is fully coated. Re-roll in powdered sugar if needed.
Place the coated dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
