Lemon is something I have been fond of ever since I had lemon cupcakes and I always try to incorporate them into desserts the minute I get the chance. Since we are talking about cookies all week long I baked a fresh batch, a few days back and trust me they are so worth the long procedure of cookies, cream and jelly.
Soft vanilla cookies stuffed with some zesty buttercream, lemon jelly and some powder sugar. Tempting enough??? Follow along with the simple steps and trust me, you’ll get a perfect treat in the first go itself. This simple yet so lovely looking cookie is just perfect for those tea parties. Happy Baking!!!

- Line them on a perforated sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 150 degrees for about 12-15 Mins.
For filling
- We are going to make a classic buttercream but lemon flavoured. Cream together butter and icing sugar, add in the lemon juice and jest. I have added a little bit of food colour just for the picture but you can totally avoid it.
- Pipe the buttercream in between the cookies and dust some powder sugar on the cookies.
For Jelly
- Make lemonade using water, lemon, sugar, and salt. Add in agar-agar to the mixture and boil the liquid, simmer for about 1 min. Let it cool and then set it on a plate. Cut them into a circle and place it in the circular part in between the cookies.
- Once you are done you should end up with a pretty lookin' cookie. Enjoy!!!
