First in a three part series...


Photobucket

Adorable and yummy goodness.


A certain Lassie was having a wedding, and it only seemed fit to have hen party with her girls, before she became a Mrs. Lassie. Of course, our idea of party is listening to Coast to Coast AM, Golden Oldies in Spanish, and crafting up a million butterflies.

All of this was fueled by proseco and a couple dozen lemon, spritz, sandwich cookies, which were inspired by this posting at Cannelle et Vanille. Maybe I'm kicking it in the dark ages, but the basic idea of using two spritz cookies, to make a sandwich cookie, blew me away. Adding the lemon to the mix, just sealed the deal.

I didn't follow the recipe of inspiration, rather I used my own family's spritz recipe, added a bit of lemon zest and juice, and did the same with my favorite butter-cream frosting. If you're a veteran of the mass assembly line spritz making, as many of us become Christmas after Christmas, then you'll be able to knock these out in nothing flat. Just don't have your husband help you fill them, like I did. If you do, you'll end up several cookies short and might not have enough frosting!
