Lemon Jammies: cookies, not pajamas

4/29/2015

This week's assignment was Rose's Lemon Jammies--lovely buttery cookies sandwiched with one of several possible fillings. Included in the book is a recipe for Lemon Neoclassic Buttercream.  I haven't made the lemon version, but I love Rose's Neoclassic Buttercream! 


I found this recipe to be very simple to make.  The dough can be made in the food processor or with a mixer.  I used my food processor and it took just a few minutes.

The simple, buttery dough is flavored with lemon zest and vanilla and well chilled before rolling.

Half of the cookies are cut again with a smaller circle to show the filling.  I am using a large piping tip for this.

The deceptively plain looking cookies are cooling on a rack.

Filling the cookies with Rose's Lemon Curd (the Cake Bible p. 340).  There might be something more heavenly than tart, brightly flavored lemon curd on a sunny spring day, but I couldn't think of anything while finishing these cookies!

The finished cookies taste like sunshine!  Rose's recipe indicates that they can also be filled with her Lemon Neoclassic Buttercream or jam, both of which sound delicious.  


Definitely adding these cookies to the list of favorites!

I'm with you on the lemon curd! Good to know they are even easier to mix up in the food processor. Your cookies turned out nicely. So pretty on the plate. I still say you could be hand model!

Michele, these are such dainty yet beautifully coloured cookies! Aren't they such a good match to a sunny day? I've been looking through your blog and you've got some impressive-looking breads going on! Just woke up and have already forgotten my other projects...now I feel like making your pita bread for lunch.

Your cookies look so pretty! LOL! I know, i always have a hard time finding my cutters too. The thing is my place is tiny so i have to squeeze everything and it's very difficult to find them afterwards. :)

Lemon curd is the best. It looks so shiny on your perfectly formed cookies.
