Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine butter and sugar. Add flour, salt, vanilla extract, egg yolks, ground almonds, cinnamon, and lemon peel. Mix until a crumbly dough forms. Press dough together with your hands and flatten into a disk. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
- Take the dough out of the fridge, divide into two portions, and shortly knead portions by hand.
- On a floured work surface, roll out the dough. It should be 1/5 inches (5mm) high. Cut half of the dough using a round cutter with your chosen insert and an equal number of rounds without the insert. Transfer cut out cookies to a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Chill cookies on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350F (177C). Bake cookies for 8-12 minutes in the middle of the oven until edges are very lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
- To decorate the cookies, sprinkle the cookies with the cut-out with powdered sugar. Pipe jam on top of the cookies that don't have a hole and put one of the other cookies on top. Let the cookies dry on the cooling rack for about 2 hours then transfer to cookie tins with parchment paper in between. Store in a dry and cool place.

LINZER AUGEN (LINZER EYES AKA LINZER TARTS OR LINZER COOKIES)
This is the most traditional Austrian version of this cookie I could find, trying to match my grandmother's recipes that she didn't leave behind. She used Black Currant preserves; if you can't find it, use the more American accepted filling of Seedless Raspberry Jam. ;) (This recipe makes only one dozen cookies, so you may want to double, triple or quadruple!)

Steps:
- Finely grind the almonds in a food processor, using short pulses. (It may help to put some of the granulated sugar you will be using in with the nuts as you are pulsing them. The sugar will absorb some of the oil that is produced helping to prevent it from becoming almond paste.).
- In a large bowl, beat the butter on high speed with an electric mixer until fluffy and pale. Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until combined. Reduce the speed to low. Add the egg yolk, lemon zest, vanilla and almond extracts and beat until blended.
- Sift together the flour, cinnamon and salt into another bowl. Add the ground almonds and stir to blend.
- Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat on low speed or stir with a spoon until blended. The dough should be soft.
- Turn the dough out onto a clean work surface. Divide the dough into four equal portions and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
- Remove 1 portion of the dough at a time from the refrigerator. Place dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper and roll out 1/4 inch thick.
- Using a cookie cutter or glass about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, cut out the cookies. Using a 1 1/4-inch cutter, cut a hole in the center of only half of the cookies.
- Repeat with the remaining portions of dough, then re-roll the dough scraps as needed to make 24 cutouts total, cutting holes in half of them.
- If the dough becomes sticky, wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for 10 minutes before rolling out.
- Using a thin spatula, carefully transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are firm to the touch, about 12 minutes.
- Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks. Loosen the cookies with the spatula, but leave the cookies on the sheets until thoroughly cooled.
- To assemble, spread the solid cookies with a thin layer (about 1 tsp.) of preserves to within about 1/4 inch of the edges. Top the solid cookies with the cutout cookies.
- Dust the cookies generously with confectioners' sugar and fill the hole with more jam.

TRADITIONAL ALGERIAN SABLES (COOKIES) - LIKE LINZER AUGEN
This is my own family recipe for the traditional Algerian 'Sables' cookies. These sables are very easy to make & are a real favourite in our home. We like them with strawberry jam filling & icing sugar dusting or with apricot jam filing & dessicated coconut finish... but you can use any of your favourite preserves (if they have fruit pieces in you should sieve them before using. I have a special 4cm fluted sables cutter but you can use any cutters. I oftern use star cutters then punch out the small round centre by using a small metal bottle top (like on food colourings), or round cutter & using a small star, heart or flower cutter for the centre. These sables freeze nicely in layers separated by parchment or waxed paper in an airtight container. Allow to defrost in a single layer then dust the tops & fill with jam.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 170°C
- Cream the margarine & sugar(s) until light & fluffy.
- Beat in the egg & vanilla, then gradually fold in the flour & baking powder.
- Mix slowly until a soft dough forms. The dough is very soft & needs handling with care but it shouldn't be sticky. If your dough is still a little sticky, sift in a little extra flour.
- Roll out to about 4mm thick, be sure to flour the rolling pin well.
- Cut out 'tops & bottoms' for your sables.
- Place on a baking tray lined with aluminium foil (shiny side up) & bake for 8 minutes. The sables should be just set but still white.
- Allow the sables to cool on the sheet for a minute then remove to a cold plate or tray to finish cooling.
- When the sables are fully cooled, heat the jam until bubbling.
- Place all the sables tops onto a tray & dust generously with the icing sugar.
- Allow the jam to cool slightly then spoon approx 1/2 tsp of the jam onto the underside of the sables 'bottoms'.
- Then carefully place a 'top' over the blob of jam.
- Allow to set, then store in one layer in an airtight container for upto 10 days.
