Steps
Use the mixer to crumb the all-purpose flour with the butter. Pour everything into a bowl, add the almond flour, sifted powdered sugar, the egg, and the yolk.
Add salt, vanilla flavoring, grated orange zest, and mix all the ingredients. Pour onto the pastry board and finish kneading. Quickly form a dough, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
Flour the pastry board and roll out the shortbread dough to a thickness of 1/8 inch with a rolling pin. Use the larger cutter to shape 23 hearts to leave whole. Another 23 need to be shaped for the frame using the smaller cutter. Place the hearts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake. Bake in the middle of the oven for 12-15 minutes. Once cooled, fill them with Nutella.
