In heatproof bowl that fits over the saucepan, combine the lemon juice and cornstarch and whisk well to combine. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan and add the butter and sugar. Whisk constantly until the sugar is dissolved, and then add the eggs slowly, a bit at a time, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest. Let cool, and then place in the fridge to chill and firm up.
- For the raspberry sauce: Combine the prosecco, sugar and raspberries in a large saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir to mash up the berries a bit. Simmer until the liquid is reduced and syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
- For the puff pastry: Preheat the oven according to package instructions. Unfold the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry into 16 squares or cut 16 rounds using a cookie cutter. Place the pastry on a baking sheet and brush each with the egg wash. Bake according to package instructions.
- For the whipped cream: Whip the heavy cream with the limoncello, sugar and lemon zest.
- To serve, place 2 pastry pieces on a plate and top with lemon curd, raspberry sauce and whipped cream. You will have some leftover lemon curd.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your cookies the best flavor. If you only have bottled lemon juice, you can use that, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the dough, making the cookies lighter and more tender.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to keep the dough from curdling.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cookies bake evenly.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving. This will help to prevent them from breaking.
Conclusion:
Lemon cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious lemon cookies that will be the hit of your next party or gathering.
