Ingredients

Units Scale

Lemon Cookies:

  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:

  • 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp strawberry jam
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Lemon Cookies:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
    • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with your palm.
    • Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
  2. Make the Strawberry Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
    • Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until creamy.
    • Mix in the strawberry jam and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich Cookies:
    • Spread or pipe about 1–2 teaspoons of the filling onto the flat side of one cookie.
    • Top with another cookie, flat side down, to create a sandwich.
    • Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
  4. Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the sandwich cookies for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • For a stronger lemon flavor, you can add ½ tsp of lemon extract to the cookie dough.
  • Use seedless strawberry jam for a smoother filling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
