Lemon-filled cookies

Description

When making cookies, pay attention to the dough mixing; it is important not to "over‑flour" it. Therefore, flour should be added in portions and mixed well each time. The second point is the filling. When shaping the cookies, no more than 1/2 tsp of filling should be placed on each piece, so the filling doesn’t leak out or burn. It can be served with tea or coffee.
