Method

Combine the almonds and flour in a food processor and process until finely ground but not oily.
In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and lemon zest. Add the almonds and almond extract, and beat, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until smooth and light.
