Lemon shortbread cookies filled with a vanilla icing and strawberry jam! These cookies are great at a potluck or picnic.

\u00be cup butter softened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2153 cup +1 tbsp (65g) powdered sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tsp vanilla<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u00bd cup powdered sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortbread: Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. In a medium bowl combine butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, beat until light and fluffy.<\/li>
  2. Add all purpose flour and combine until a thick and stiff dough is formed. Cover dough with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least an hour\u00a0<\/li>
  3. Once dough is chilled roll out to roughly \u00bd inch thick on a lightly flour coated surface<\/li>
  4. Using a round cookie cutter roughly 4 inches wide cut out 16 cookies and 8 place on a parchment lined baking sheet<\/li>
  5. Using a smaller cookie cutter roughly 1 inch wide, cut out a circle from the center of the remaining 8 cookies and set onto the baking sheet. Place cookies in fridge for at least 30 minutes<\/li>
  6. Preheat oven to 350, then bake shortbread for 10-15 minutes until edges are lightly browned\u00a0<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Filling: Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. In a small bowl combine powdered sugar, salt, vanilla, and water. Whisk until smooth and thick (Add either more water or powdered sugar depending on thickness, the consistency should be thin enough to pipe yet thick enough to prevent running)<\/li>
    2. Pipe a border of icing on edges of the cookies without holes. Then fill with 2 tsps of raspberry jam. Place the cookies with the holes in the middle and on top of iced cookies<\/li>
    3. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator for up to a week<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
