Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup almond flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 large egg whites with a fork until foamy.
Gradually add the beaten egg whites to the almond mixture, stirring gently until a loose dough forms. Do not overmix.
