Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, whisk together flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Cut in chilled butter until crumbly. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Roll out dough: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out chilled dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into circles. Bake on parchment-lined sheet for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
  3. Make lemon filling: Whisk together lemon juice, granulated sugar, egg yolk, cornstarch, and zest in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened. Cool completely.
  4. Prepare meringue: Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy; gradually add sugar until stiff peaks form.
  5. Assemble cookies: Spoon lemon filling onto each cookie base and top with meringue. Broil for 1-2 minutes until golden brown; cool before serving.
