Prepare the dough
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolk, icing sugar, salt, apricot jam and lemon zest. Separately, mix the hazelnut powder with the almond powder, cinnamon and baking powder. Incorporate into the first preparation, in 3 batches, first with a spatula, then by hand. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Shape the cookies
Prepare a small bowl with water and another with the icing sugar. Take a tablespoon of dough and with slightly wet hands, make a ball the size of a walnut, then roll it generously in icing sugar. Place on a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Do the same with the remaining dough. I got 2 trays of 12 cookies. With your finger, make a small well in each ball, in the middle, and place an almond inside.
