Report
Lemon Sandwich Cookies are a light, buttery slice and bake cookie with a bright lemon flavor, they are tender, not overly sweet, with a delicious sweet-tart lemon-cream frosting sandwiched between. These might possibly be my favorite cookie.

Instructions
Slice & Bake Sandwich Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl cream the butter, on medium-high speed 2-3 minutes. Add sea salt and powdered sugar, beat for about 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and lemon zest, scraping down sides. Mix on low just until incorporated.
- Sift in all-purpose flour and cornstarch into the dough, mix on low until just combined. Divide dough up into 2-3 sections. Place one at a time on a piece of plastic wrap, shape the dough into desired shape. Square or round, or whatever shape you desire, see post for how to.
- Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes, longer if needed. Dough should be firm.
- Preheat oven to 300° and line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove mixture from fridge once firm, slice into generous ⅛ slices, like a pat of butter. Place on cookie sheet close together, they won't spread.
- Bake at 300 for about 20 minutes until cookies are very lightly golden at the edges. Cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheet, then carefully move to cooling rack, cooling completely.
Lemon-Cream Frosting
- Cream butter until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add powdered sugar and zest, cream additional 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add lemon juice until desired tartness and consistency. Spoon scant teaspoon of frosting onto cooled cookie slice, place matching cookie on top.
- Place sandwich cookies in airtight container or freeze until ready to eat. If desired dust with a little powdered sugar.
