Lemon Raspberry Cookie Sandwiches
Today, I am celebrating Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling with a bunch of other bloggers. She is due with a beautiful baby girl very soon, so we are celebrating with a Virtual Baby Shower!
Though I’ve not actually met Cathy in person (us bloggers tend to live far away from each other, making it hard to meet in person), I love her delicious recipes! In fact, I loved her Lemon Raspberry Meltaways so much, they inspired the flavor combo for these cookies. And the pink of the raspberry is perfect for a baby girl, don’t you think?
Honestly, you could just eat these lemon cookies on their own. They are super yummy. But of course, they’re even better as a cookie sandwich.
To give my usual cookie the lemon flavor, I added a package of dry lemon pudding mix. It’s a great way to add flavor and keep your cookies incredibly soft. Because of that, they actually spread quite a bit during baking – even with the cornstarch that helps them to not spread quite as much. So keep that in mind when shaping your cookies.
The raspberry filling is made with my usual buttercream and flavored with raspberry jam. Light and delicious!
I normally am a big fan of strong flavors. But in the case of these cookies, I really wanted the lemon and raspberry flavors to compliment each other, not compete.
Because of that, neither of the flavors are too strong. It makes the perfect Lemon Raspberry Cookie Sandwich!
I’m totally in love with them. The yellow and pink is so perfectly springy! So be sure to give them a try!
And be sure to check out the other tasty treats below that everyone brought to the party!
Congratulations Cathy! I wish all the best to you and your family as you welcome your little bundle of joy!
