Ingredients

Lemon dough:

• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup of butter
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
• 3 egg yolks
• Juice and peel from ½ chemically untreated lemon

Butter Lemon Cookie Cream:

• 1 cup of butter
• 5 tablespoons of cane sugar
• 1 egg
• Juice of 1/2 lemon

Lemon Frosting for Cookies:

• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of hot water

Method

• Sift the flour and sugar into a bowl, and add the chopped butter, egg yolks, juice, and lemon zest.
• Make a smooth dough from the mixture and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator.
• The next day, put the dough on a floured roll and put cling film over it. Roll out the dough through the film. Thanks to the food foil, the dough will not stick to the rolling pin.
• Remove the foil and start cutting out the circles. Place them on a tray lined with baking paper and bake at 360°F for 7-8 minutes.
• Leave the baked circles to cool, and then cover them with lemon cream. Finally, pour the lemon glaze over the glued circles.

Lemon cream for cookies:

• Boil a pot of water on the stove and place a stainless steel bowl on it. You want to create a water bath.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, add the sugar, and beat everything until the mixture is thick.
• Set the mixture aside. Take another bowl, in which you beat the softened butter into a foam, and gradually beat the finished egg mixture.
• Beat everything together until smooth. Add the juice of half a lemon, beat again, and glue the cooled circles with the resulting cream.

Lemon Icing:

• Put the sugar in a bowl, add the water and lemon juice, and mix very thoroughly until the icing is smooth.
