Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 1 large egg 2 tablespoons lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup prepared cake frosting butter mints macaroons candied lemon zest flower-shaped decorative sprinkles

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine butter and sugars. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add egg, zest and vanilla, mixing to combine. In a small bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed, until smooth. Divide dough into 2 balls, wrap with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with round, fluted 2-inch cutters, and place cookies on prepared baking sheet. Chill cookies for 15 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350 °Fš. Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Let cool on pans for 2 minutes. Remove from pans, and cool completely on wire racks. Spread a very small amount of frosting (this will act as an adhesive) onto middle of cookie, and top with a butter mint. Spread a small amount of frosting onto butter mint; gently press a Lemon Coconut Macaroon onto butter mint. Garnish with Candied Lemon Zest and flower-shaped decorative sprinkles, if desired. Note: Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month. You can use licorice instead of Candied Lemon Zest to form ribbons on bonnets, and you can also attach macaroons to cookies using pastel-colored frosting. Pipe frosting in a circle in the middle of cookie using a star tip, and then press macaroon onto frosting to attach.
