Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together 200 grams almond flour, 100 grams erythritol, and salt. Rub in the 100 grams unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until the dough forms.
For the almond filling, in a separate bowl, combine 100 grams blanched almond flour, 50 grams erythritol, lemon zest, and almond extract. Add in the remaining egg (reserving a small amount for glazing) and mix until a cohesive paste forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion into balls and flatten into discs.
Scoop about a tablespoon of almond filling onto half of the discs, then cover each with another disc, sealing the edges by pinching them together.
Place an almond half on top of each koek. Brush the remaining beaten egg over each koek for a glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy your keto-friendly Gevulde Koek!
