Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, cream butter, confectioners' sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Beat in extract. Gradually beat in flour. If necessary, cover and refrigerate dough until firm enough to shape.
- Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into balls. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets; flatten slightly with bottom of a glass dipped in granulated sugar. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For filling, in a small heavy saucepan, whisk egg, granulated sugar, lemon juice and lemon peel until blended. Add butter; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until thickened and a thermometer reads at least 170°, about 20 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Remove from heat immediately. Transfer to a small bowl; cool. Press plastic wrap onto surface of filling. Refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
- To serve, spread lemon filling on bottoms of half of the cookies; cover with remaining cookies. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Store leftovers in refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
