Whisk the egg yolks with sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon flavoring until frothy. Add the almonds and knead into a smooth dough. Dust the work surface with powdered sugar. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 3 mm. Cut out hearts and place them on baking sheets lined with baking paper. Bake in the oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat, fan: 160°C), on the middle rack, for about 12-15 minutes. For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice and spread it on the still-hot cookies. Remove from the baking sheet using the paper and let cool. Tip: Use leftover egg whites for macaroons.
