Yield 1-1/2 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup plus 6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Reduce heat to low; cook and stir for 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolk; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat; gently stir in butter and lemon juice. Cool to room temperature without stirring., Spread a teaspoonful of filling on the bottom of each solid cookie; place coconut topped cookie over lemon filling. Store in the refrigerator.
