LEMON MELTAWAYS
These tender cookies are an elegant teatime snack, packed with bright lemon flavor. Bake them all at once or save half of the dough, well wrapped, in the freezer for later. If you've frozen the dough, let it warm slightly before slicing to prevent cracked cookies.

Steps:
- Add butter, 1 1/4 cups/154 grams confectioners' sugar, and lemon zest to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until the sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and add the lemon juice and egg yolk. Mix to combine.
- Reduce the speed to low, add the flour, cornstarch and salt, and mix until just combined.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces and set each piece on a length of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Fold the paper over the sticky dough, and use your hands to form it into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches wide. Roll the cylinder a few times to help shape it, but don't worry if it isn't perfect. Chill the dough until completely firm, at least 2 hours.
- When you are ready to bake, heat oven to 350 degrees, and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the dough into rounds just under 1/4-inch thick and arrange them at least 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 12 to 17 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway though. The cookies should be golden around the edges, but not brown all of the way through.
- Set the pans on cooling racks and cool for a few minutes. Dust both sides of the warm cookies with the remaining 3/4 cup/92 grams confectioners' sugar. Let the cookies cool completely, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar just before serving, if desired.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric beater or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter with the 1 1/4 cups of icing sugar and lemon zest on low speed until the icing sugar is moistened, then turn the mixer to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the lemon juice and egg yolk. Mix until combined.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low, then add the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Divide the dough into 2 pieces and set each piece on a length of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic wrap over the sticky dough and roll and shape it with the palm of your hands to form it into a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches wide. Roll the cylinder a few times to help shape it, but don't worry if it isn't perfect. Chill the dough until completely firm, at least 2 hours. *I like to stand the cylinders on their end, to avoid a flat bottom.
- (You can double wrap and freeze the one or both of cylinders at this point. To use later, remove from the freezer and let warm slightly before slicing, to avoid cracking in the dough. Baking from semi-frozen may take an extra few minutes.)
- Preheat oven to 350F when ready to bake and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Slice the dough into rounds just about 1/4-inch thick (*see notes) and arrange them at least 1-inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back halfway though baking. The cookies should be golden around the edges, but not brown all of the way through.
- Set the pans on cooling racks and cool for a few minutes, then dust both sides of the warm cookies with the remaining 3/4 cup of icing sugar. Let the cookies cool completely on a cooling rack, then store at room temperature in an airtight container. You can dust with additional confectioners' sugar just before serving, if desired.

LEMON MELTAWAYS
We're calling it: This citrusy spin on timeless shortbread is a new classic! With the buttery dough and double dose of lemon-there's zest in the dough and lemon juice in the icing-these lemon meltaways really live up to their name. And just like classic shortbread, they're made with a short ingredient list. So don't be deceived by their impressive looks, these cookies are totally doable. One tip though, don't skip tossing them in powdered sugar for the second time-doing so adds to their magical, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Give them a try and let us know if you think they're worthy of a permanent spot in your recipe box.

- In a bowl, mix together the butter and the cornstarch until they’re well combined. Add in the powdered sugar, lemon zest and extract until it’s smooth. Add in flour and mix until the dough comes together and the flour is all incorporated. Cover and refrigerate 10-15 minutes.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and stir in 1 teaspoon of lemon juice + 1 tsp lemon zest with 3 tablespoons of milk. Whisk in 1 cup to 1.5 cups of powdered sugar.

- Whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high, beat the butter and 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy. Add the lemon zest and juice and vanilla and mix until fluffy. Reduce the speed to low, add the flour mixture, and mix just until combined. The dough may be quite crumbly, but that’s okay. Simply press the dough crumbles together.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. (To do this with ease, place each portion of dough on an 8-by-12-inch sheet of parchment paper and then roll to form a log 1 1/4 inches in diameter, pressing a ruler along the long edge of the parchment at each turn.) Place the log of dough in a resealable plastic bag or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Cut each log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds, no thicker. Place the rounds on parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake the cookies until pale golden, 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the sheets once halfway through. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool slightly.
