Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325˚ F. Beat the butter and granulated and confectioners' sugars in a standing mixer until fluffy. Add the egg yolks, almond extract and orange zest and beat to combine. Whisk together the all-purpose and almond flours, the baking powder and salt in a separate bowl; add to the butter mixture and stir to thoroughly combine. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Scoop and shape the dough into teaspoon-sized balls and transfer to parchment paper-lined baking sheets, leaving room in between. Bake, rotating halfway through, for 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool, then toss with confectioners' sugar to coat. Store at room temperature in a covered container.
