Yield Makes about 4 dozen sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 17

For Cookies
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1/2 pound) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
White and colored sanding sugars
For Filling
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
Special Equipment:
a heavy-duty sealable bag

Steps:

  • Make Cookies:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt.
  • Beat together butter and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in zest and vanilla. At low speed, mix in flour mixture just until a soft dough forms.
  • Put sanding sugars in different bowls. Roll a scant teaspoon of dough into a ball and drop into sugar, turning to coat. Reshape if necessary and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat, spacing balls 3/4 inch apart, until baking sheet is filled.
  • Bake until tops are slightly cracked but still pale (bottoms will be pale golden), 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies on parchment to a rack to cool completely.
  • Form and bake more cookies on second baking sheet.
  • Make Filling and Sandwich Cookies:
  • Beat together all filling ingredients in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until combined well. Transfer to sealable bag and snip off a corner.
  • Turn over half of cookies and pipe about 1/2 teaspoon filling on flat side of each. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't as good as I was hoping for.

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter to the dough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

I was a bit skeptical about the glittering sugar, but it really adds a special touch to these cookies. They look so festive and elegant.

I love how easy these cookies are to make. I was able to whip up a batch in no time. They're also really versatile. I've tried them with different types of fillings, like raspberry jam and chocolate ganache, and they're always delicious.

Delicious! The lemon flavor is bright and refreshing, and the cookies are perfectly soft and chewy. I'll definitely be making these again.

These lemon sandwich cookies are delightful! The combination of the tangy lemon filling and the sweet, buttery cookies is perfect. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out beautifully.
