Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Make sure the butter is softened before you start baking. This will help the cookies to cream together more easily.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from seeping out.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cookie dough.
  • If you don't have pie weights, you can use dried beans or rice to weigh down the pie crust.
  • To make the filling ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before filling the cookies.

Conclusion:

Lemon Dream Tassie Cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their bright lemon flavor and creamy filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to enjoy, give this recipe a try!
