Lemon Cookies

Ingredients

• 125 g soft butter
• 150 g maple syrup
• 1 egg
• 200 g Flour
• 1 tbsp Cornstarch
• 75 g ground almonds
• 0.5 tsp Baking powder
• 150 ml buttermilk
• 2 lemons
• 25 g butter
• 60 g sugar
• 1 egg
• 100 g cream cheese

Instructions

1. 1.

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) with top and bottom heat.

2. 2.

   Beat the butter with maple syrup until creamy, then stir in the egg. Mix flour with cornstarch, almonds, and baking powder; fold into the batter alternately with buttermilk. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined tray and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

3. 3.

   For the glaze, wash lemons hot, pat dry, and zest. Squeeze the juice. In a double boiler, combine butter, sugar, zest, and lemon juice; whisk until the butter melts. Beat in the egg and continue whisking over heat until creamy. Strain through a fine sieve, allow to cool slightly, then fold in cream cheese. Spread glaze on half of the cookies and top each with another cookie.
