Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the flour and powdered sugar. Rub in the butter with your fingers until it looks like breadcrumbs.
2. Add the egg yolk, lemon zest and lemon juice, then knead into a smooth, compact dough. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
3. In a saucepan, combine the water, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, sugar and yellow food coloring.
4. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth cream. Set aside to cool.
5. Roll the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
6. Cut out cookies with an egg-shaped cutter. For half of them, cut a hole in the center with a smaller round cutter.
7. Place the cookies on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C (360°F) for about 15 minutes, until golden around the edges.
8. Once cooled, spread a teaspoon of lemon cream on each solid cookie. Top with the cookies that have holes, pressing gently so the cream fills the centre.
9. Dust with powdered sugar and serve.
