Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Lemon Cream Filling by beating cream cheese and butter until smooth, adding the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Freeze for 45-60 minutes.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough by creaming together butter and powdered sugar, adding vanilla and lemon zest, then incorporating flour and salt. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  3. Assemble Cookies by preheating the oven to 350°F and preparing a baking sheet. Scoop dough, place filling, wrap dough around filling, and shape into balls.
  4. Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes until lightly golden on the bottom. Cool briefly on the baking sheet.
  5. Coat the cookies in powdered sugar while warm, and for a snowy finish, roll again once cooled.
