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.

- Preheat oven to 225°F. Cut two pieces of parchment paper to fit perfectly into two standard-size rimmed baking sheets. On each parchment piece, trace twenty four 1½-inch circles; set aside. Fit a piping bag with an open star piping tip and set aside.
- In a completely clean and dry stand mixer, combine egg whites, cream of tartar, and sea salt. Beat on power setting 2 and slowly stream in 3 tablespoons of the sugar. Allow to beat for two minutes before increasing the speed to setting 4 and slowly adding another 3 tablespoons of sugar; allow to beat for another full two minutes. Slowly add another 3 tablespoons of sugar and beat at setting 6 for two minutes. Add final 3 tablespoons of sugar and beat at setting 8 for final two minutes.
- Add lemon extract and vanilla bean paste and yellow food coloring and beat on high for 30 seconds until well incorporated. Transfer meringue to piping bag.
- Set parchment paper inside each baking sheet and use piping bag to fill the circles with meringue. Pipe by squeezing the bag with the nozzle in the center of the circle and at a 90° angle, allowing the meringue to fill out the circle from the center. As you pipe, slowly pull the bag up as the circle fills to create a little dome of meringue; stop squeezing and pull the nozzle up to finish the meringue with a vertical peak. Repeat with remaining circles and meringue.
