Steps:
- Add butter, 1 1/4 cups/154 grams confectioners' sugar, and lemon zest to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the lemon juice and egg yolk. Mix to combine.
- Reduce the speed to low, add the flour, cornstarch and salt, and mix until just combined.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces and set each piece on a length of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Fold the paper over the sticky dough, and use your hands to form it into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches wide. Roll the cylinder a few times to help shape it, but don't worry if it isn't perfect. Chill the dough until completely firm, at least 2 hours.
- When you are ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the dough into rounds just under 1/4-inch thick and arrange them at least 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 12 to 17 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway though. The cookies should be golden around the edges, but not brown all of the way through.
- Set the pans on cooling racks and cool for a few minutes. Dust both sides of the warm cookies with the remaining 3/4 cup/92 grams confectioners' sugar. Let the cookies cool completely, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar just before serving, if desired.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MELTAWAYS
These little candies have become a staple in my annual Christmas baking, though they are so simple, all you need is a microwave! They literally melt i your mouth and will be adored by any chocolate+PB lover! You can easily change the quantities as the white candy, chocolate candy, and peanut butter are used in equal amounts. I use Wilton brand candy melts but you could probably use chocolate chips or almond bark as well.

LEMON MELTAWAYS
We're calling it: This citrusy spin on timeless shortbread is a new classic! With the buttery dough and double dose of lemon-there's zest in the dough and lemon juice in the icing-these lemon meltaways really live up to their name. And just like classic shortbread, they're made with a short ingredient list. So don't be deceived by their impressive looks, these cookies are totally doable. One tip though, don't skip tossing them in powdered sugar for the second time-doing so adds to their magical, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Give them a try and let us know if you think they're worthy of a permanent spot in your recipe box.

Steps:
- Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl. Beat until smooth.
- Combine flour, soda, creams of tarter, and salt.
- Add to butter mixture. Beat until smooth. Stir in vanilla and chocolate chips.
- Shape mixture into 1" balls. Roll in granulated sugar.
- Put 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 395 degrees for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool.
Tips:
- Mise en place: As with most baking recipes, mise en place (pronounced "meez en plas") is crucial for success. Before you begin, gather and measure all of your ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Use quality ingredients: To ensure the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients such as real butter, unsweetened chocolate, and pure vanilla extract.
- Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This step helps to incorporate air into the mixture, making the cookies light and fluffy. Cream the butter and sugar together for at least 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time: This helps to prevent the eggs from curdling. Beat each egg into the mixture until it is well combined before adding the next.
- Do not overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and make it easier to handle. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown. Do not overbake the cookies, as they will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Conclusion:
Melt-aways are a classic cookie that is loved by people of all ages. They are light, fluffy, and have a delicate flavor. These tips will help you make perfect melt-aways every time. Enjoy!
