Yield Makes about 50 sandwich cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

For cookies:
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
White or 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 unsalted butter, softened
Equipment: a heavy-duty sealable bag

Steps:

  • 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.

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I should have chilled the dough for longer before baking.

These cookies were delicious! The lemon curd was the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The cookies were also very easy to make. I will definitely be making these again.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe by half.

These cookies were a bit too tart for my taste. I would recommend using less lemon juice in the curd.

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them. Next time, I will bake them for a shorter amount of time.

These lemon sandwich cookies were a delight! The combination of the tangy lemon curd and the sweet, buttery cookies was heavenly. I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out perfectly. They were soft and chewy, with a crisp outer shell.
