Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 c butter, softened
2 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 tsp lemon extract
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp lemon zest, grated, fresh
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3 c all purpose flour
1 c powdered sugar
FOR THE FILLING
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp lemon juice, fresh
1 tsp lemon zest, grated
3 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar for 3 minutes. Add in vanilla, eggs, extract, juice and zest, beat for 1 minute.
  • 3. Next place the remaining ingredients into mixing bowl and blend well. If dough is slightly sticky you may want to add in a 1/4 cup more flour.
  • 4. Let dough chill while you mix the filling. For the filling heat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in remaining ingredients and beat well.
  • 5. Place filling in covered container, chill for 1 hour. Roll dough into balls and flatten.
  • 6. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Cool on a wire rack completely before filling and sandwiching.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh lemons. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use 1 tablespoon of lemon extract mixed with 1 tablespoon of water.
  • To make the lemon cream filling, you can use a hand mixer or a stand mixer. If you are using a hand mixer, be sure to beat the butter and cream cheese until they are light and fluffy.
  • If the lemon cream filling is too thick, you can add a little bit of milk or cream.
  • To make the cookies, you can use a cookie scoop or a spoon. If you are using a cookie scoop, be sure to release the dough onto the baking sheet with a gentle motion.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges. The centers of the cookies should be set, but not too dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. If you fill the cookies while they are still warm, the filling may melt and make the cookies soggy.
  • To make the cookies ahead of time, bake them according to the recipe and then freeze them in an airtight container. When you are ready to serve the cookies, thaw them at room temperature for about an hour.

Conclusion:

Lemon cream sandwich cookies are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer a tart or a sweet filling, these cookies are sure to please everyone.
