Ingredients
  

Cookie Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Frosting

  • 1 cup strawberry frosting (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dollops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

Baking

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Assembly

  • Once completely cooled, spread a layer of strawberry frosting on the bottom of one cookie and sandwich it with another cookie.
  • Repeat until all cookies are frosted and sandwiched together.

Serving

  • Arrange the cookies on a platter and enjoy at your next gathering!

Notes

For best results, measure ingredients accurately. If dough is too sticky, chill for 30 minutes before scooping. Consider making homemade frosting for an elevated flavor.
