1 cup butter
2.5 cups powdered sugar
2 Tbsp lemon zest
.5 tsp salt
2 c flour
2 Tbsp sugar
4 oz cream cheese
Preheat oven to 350. Beat butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp lemon zest and salt until combined. Add flour. Turn dough onto piece of plastic wrap; pat into 1/2 in thick disk; wrap and chill until firm, about 1 hr. Un wrap dough; place on lightly floured parchment paper and roll about 1/8 in thick. Cut out cookies and place 1 in apart on baking sheets; sprinkly with granulated sugar. Bake until barely beginning to brown, 15-20 min. Cool. Make lemon filling by mixing cream cheese and 1 Tbsp lemon zest until smooth; gradually add 1 cup powdered sugar, mixing until smooth; mix in another 1/2 cup powdered sugar or enough to create a firm but spreadable filling. Form sandwiches by placing 1 tsp filling between two cookies, sugar side out, and squeezing gently.
I recognize this recipe! Did the cookies turn out well?
ReplyDeleteThey were all kinds of crazy to make. I'll have to revise the recipe. In the end it worked better to use the filling as a frosting because when you bite into the cookie, the filling just shoots out the other end. It's hard to make it thick enough to stay put.
