Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups (21/2 sticks) butter, softened, divided
1/3 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract
Granulated sugar for dipping
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 to 3 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
Directions:
For cookies, combine flour, 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, whipping cream, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, lemon zest and lemon extract in large bowl. Beat until the mixture is well blended, scraping bowl often, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide dough into thirds. Wrap each portion in waxed paper; refrigerate until firm.

Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll each portion of dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a well-floured surface. Cut out with 11/2-inch round cookie cutter. (I use the lid to the milk jug) Dip both sides of each cookie in granulated sugar. Place 1 inch apart on un-greased baking sheets. Pierce with fork. Bake until cookies are slightly puffy but not browned, 6 to 9 minutes. Cool 1 minute on baking sheets; remove cookies to wire racks and let cool completely.

For filling, combine confectioners' sugar, remaining 1/4 cup butter, lemon juice and vanilla extract in small bowl. Beat until smooth, scraping the bowl often, 1 to 2 minutes. Tint with food coloring, if desired. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon filling each on bottoms of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies.
