Comment RECIPE please and I’ll send it right over! 🍋
I had a completely different cookie idea, and somehow these lemon sandwich cookies happened by surprise. Not mad about it.
Here’s the thing, I was testing an ultra soft lemon sugar cookie for spring. Three rounds of testing later, I had a cookie with the most insanely soft texture (thanks to
@plugrabutter doing what it does best) but it was spreading just slightly. Instead of fighting it, I sandwiched two together with a perfectly balanced lemon cream cheese frosting and accidentally made the dreamiest Mother’s Day cookie of all time.
Plugrà butter is what makes the cookie itself so soft and tender, it’s slow-churned and made for baking, and you can really taste the difference. Then the lemon cream cheese frosting? Tangy, super lemony, and balances the sweetness of the cookie perfectly.
If you’re still figuring out what to bake for mom this Mother’s Day, this is your sign 🍋
Save this one and make it for her this weekend! And let me know if you do, comment RECIPE and I’ll DM it to you!
