These Zesty Lemon Delight Cookies are a refreshing treat, combining a buttery base with a tangy lemon filling.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the flour and salt to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the dough, which can make the cookies tough.
Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Use a cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to prevent overbaking.
While the cookies cool, prepare the filling by combining powdered sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
Stir constantly to avoid lumps in the filling.
Cook the filling over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and boils. Let it cool.
Boil for one minute to ensure the filling sets properly.
Spread the cooled filling onto one cookie and sandwich with another. Repeat for all cookies.
Dust the assembled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
