I used to use a similar version of this dough in my butter cookie recipe while I was the gluten free product developer at a chain of restaurants in Arizona.  The butter cookies were the bakery's top selling gluten free item.  People could not get enough of the buttery shortbread cookie with beautiful lemon and marzipan flavors from the fresh lemon zest, juice and finely ground almond flour.  Unlike most gluten free cookie doughs, this dough is super firm and easy to shape!   When it came time for Purim I adapted my butter cookie recipe to be a perfect Hamantash dough.  You may sub the lemon juice and lemon zest for fresh squeezed orange juice and orange zest.
