3/4 cup blanched slivered almonds, ground
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the egg and lemon peel. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, almonds, cinnamon and cloves. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. If the dough is stiff, knead it by hand to get it to come together. Split the dough in half.
Roll out half of the dough on a lightly floured surface, and cut with chosen cookie cutter. Spread the jam over each individual cookie.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the remaining dough and cut with same cookie cutter. Then cut out middle of each piece with a much smaller cookie cutter. Lightly place each cookie over the jam on the previously cut cookies.
