For the filling:

Instructions

TO MAKE THE COOKIES:

  • Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter, sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat again.
  • Turn speed to low and gradually add the flour mixture until a dough is formed.
  • Turn the dough on a floured surface and roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  • Using 2-3 inch cookie cutters, cut cookies in the desired shape. Depending on the size of your cutters, you should get around 20-24 cookies.

TO MAKE THE FILLING:

  • Add lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
  • Add 1 tbsp of the filling to the center of half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies, pressing gently to adhere.
