Sift flour and powdered sugar into a bowl. Add butter, lemon zest, eggs, and baking powder and knead everything into a smooth dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Roll out the dough on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 2.5 mm. Use a cookie cutter to cut out circles about 6.5 cm in diameter. Place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center and place a second cookie on top. Seal the edges tightly so the Nutella doesn’t leak out during baking. Brush the cookies with egg yolk and sprinkle with chopped hazelnuts. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the cookies on top. Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 8 minutes. If you don’t like Nutella, you can also use jam. The hazelnuts can also be replaced with sugar.
