Ingredients

180g butter, softened
1/3 cup icing mixture
1/3 cup corn flour
1 1/4 cup plain flour
Rind of 1 lemon

Buttercream icing

150g butter
1/4 cup icing sugar
1/3 cup fresh strawberries
2 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice

Method

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius . Cream the softened butter, icing mixture and lemon rind using a stand mixer or hand mixer until fluffy.
Step 2

Sift the corn flour and plain flour together. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and combine well. If the mixture is sticky, place it on a sheet of baking paper and put it in the fridge to set and cool for a few minutes.
Step 3

Roll the mixture into even sized balls and place onto a lined baking tray. Press each ball down down using a floured fork and create an indentation. Bake in the oven for at least 10-12 minutes until slightly expanded. The cookies should not brown and remain the same colour as they were before they were placed in the oven. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
Step 4

Simmer the strawberries in sugar and water until soft. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cool, place all the butter, icing sugar and strawberry mixture in a bowl and mixing until fluffy. Pipe the strawberry buttercream onto the base of one cookie, and then place another cookie on top and sandwich them together.
