Fruit preserves can be lower in sugar.

Beat 1 cup of unsalted butter until softened.

Add 1.5 cups of icing sugar and mix until light and fluffy.

Add 4 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract, and lemon zest, mixing until combined.

Add 3/4 cup of ground almonds, 3 cups of cake and pastry flour, 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt all at once and mix until blended.

Scrape the dough onto two pieces of plastic wrap and chill until firm.

Knead the dough slightly to soften it for rolling.

Roll out the dough using all-purpose flour to prevent sticking.

Cut out shapes for the bases and tops using a teardrop-shaped cookie cutter, ensuring the top has a center cutout.

Bake the bottoms and tops separately at 375°F for about 15 minutes, keeping an eye on the tops to prevent over-browning.

Dust the tops with icing sugar after cooling.

Spread about a teaspoon of blueberry jam on the bottom of the cookie and assemble.
