Roll in small balls and flatten with fork.

Divide filling ingredients into two batches, one with red food coloring and one with green. Mix until smooth. Take a kitchen knife and spread some on the bottom of one cookie and then place the bottom of a second cookie on top of it, let cool and then store in refrigerator.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I make a couple small changes when I do the baking. I omit the vanilla and almond extract and increase the lemon. I also double the powdered sugar used. For the filling I don't use any food coloring, or measurements. I just mix until it tastes right.
