Mix all-purpose flour and baking powder in a bowl and set aside.

Mix powdered sugar with softened butter until pale, about 4-5 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.

Add egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest to the butter mixture and mix well.

Incorporate the dry ingredients with the wet using a spatula until a dough forms, avoiding using hands to prevent stickiness.

Wrap the dough in clean film, flatten it slightly, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Prepare the jam by loosening it with a bit of water if it's firm.

After 1 hour, form the cookies by marking them with your thumb, flouring your thumb to prevent sticking.

Preheat the oven to 355°F (180°C) and bake the cookies for 10 minutes until pale on top and golden at the bottom.
