Ingredients

²/₃ cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar

1 large Land O Lakes® Egg

1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

¹/₂ teaspoon lemon juice

2 cups all-purpose flour

¹/₂ teaspoon baking powder

¹/₂ teaspoon baking soda

¹/₂ teaspoon salt

²/₃ cup any flavor jam

Frosting

1 ¹/₂ cups powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 to 2 tablespoons milk

How to make

STEP 1

Combine butter and cream cheese in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add sugar, egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice; continue beating until well mixed. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat at low speed until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
STEP 2

Roll out dough, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), on well-floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. (Add additional flour to rolling surface as needed.) Cut with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters.
STEP 3

Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 4

To assemble cookies, spread 1/4 teaspoon jam in center of 1 cookie; top with second cookie. Gently press edges of cookies to seal. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
STEP 5

Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.
STEP 6

Combine powdered sugar and vanilla in small bowl. Beat at low speed, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled jam-filled cookies with 1/2 teaspoon each.
