In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined and a dough forms.
Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (180Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out one dough disk on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Cut out circles using a cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the other egg yolk and water to make a wash.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with the egg wash.
Using a fork, create a criss-cross pattern on the surface of each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Repeat rolling, cutting, and baking steps with the remaining dough disk.
