Combine the butter and brown sugar in a bowl and beat with a hand mixer for about 15 minutes until fluffy. Add the almonds, lemon zest, and a little lemon juice, if desired. Fold in the flour and knead the dough well. Refrigerate for 2 hours. Roll out very thinly (about 1 cm thick) and cut out cookies using your preferred cookie cutter. Brush with egg yolk and scatter some almond flakes over the dough. Bake in a preheated oven at 140°C – 165°C for about 8 to 10 minutes.
