Ingredients:
- 1 egg yolk

- a few drops of yellow food coloring
Directions:
- Cookies:
- Cream butter until light an fluffy. Add sugar and beat until dissolved.
- Beat in egg yolk, vanilla and lemon zest.
- Fold in sifted flour gradually to form stiff dough.
- Shape into 20 walnut sized balls and place on greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with fork tines.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes. Cool on wire rack before sandwiching together with buttercream filling.
