Cookie
1 14 cups Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 12 cups all-purpose flour
2 12 teaspoons baking powder
18 teaspoon salt
Decorator sugar
Filling
2 12 cups powdered sugar
14 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
1 tablespoon freshly grated orange zest
1 tablespoon milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
STEP 1
Combine 1 1/4 cups butter and sugar in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg, 2 teaspoons orange zest, lemon zest and vanilla. Continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder and salt. Beat until well mixed. Divide dough in half; wrap in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
STEP 2
Heat oven to 375°F.
STEP 3
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2-inch star cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Sprinkle half of cookies with decorator sugar. Bake 5-6 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool on cookie sheets 1 minute. Remove to wire rack. Cool completely.
STEP 4
Combine all filling ingredients in bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Spread heaping teaspoonful filling on bottom of each cookie without sugar. Cover with sugar-topped cookie.
For a gift-giving idea, punch holes in the rim of a decorative paper plate about 1/2 inch from the edge. Weave a soft ribbon through the holes, leaving ends of the ribbon long enough to tie a bow.
