Servings: persons

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 - 2/3 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
white sugar or colored crystal sugar
Filling
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F with rack in middle. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
2
Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt.
3
Beat together butter and confectioners sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy, then beat in zest and vanilla. At low speed, mix in flour mixture just until a soft dough forms.
4
Put sanding sugars in different bowls. Roll a scant tsp of dough into a ball and drop into sugar, turning to coat. Reshape if necessary and transfer to a baking sheet. Repeat, spacing balls 3/4 inch apart, until baking sheet is filled.
5
Bake until tops are slightly cracked but still pale (bottoms will be pale golden), 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies on parchment to a rack to cool completely.
6
Form and bake more cookies on second baking sheet.
7
Make Filling and Sandwich Cookies: Beat butter then add all other filling ingredients in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until combined well. Transfer to sealable bag and snip off a corner.
8
Turn over half of cookies and pipe about 1/2 tsp filling on flat side of each. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing gently.
