No-Bake Lemon-Filled Cookies

March 31, 2020 By Dana Vento Leave a Comment

No-Bake Lemon-Filled Cookies No-Bake. 

2 words that I consider a gift from the baking gods.

When there is no baking involved, there are fewer pots, pans and baking equipment to wash! 

No-bake lemon-filled sandwich cookies are simple to create, and truly capture the essence of Spring in their taste. 

Light flavors, fresh wafting scent of lemon and a clean presentation. 

In attempting to create this recipe, I considered how to use the bare minimum amount of ingredients to deliver the biggest taste. 

I do believe I have struck a happy medium. 

Those that love lemon is going to enjoy the recipe. 

For others that love a cookie that softens when refrigerated, you will love this recipe even more than lemon-lovers.

lemon filling on cookie First, don’t worry if you don’t have the exact same as me for every ingredient. 

Why? You might actually find a better combination than I did! 

After experimenting with a lot of filling, I decided to use on that was thick, yet yielded to licking, lol!

As for the sweet factor, not everything needs to be so sweet that you get a sugar rush that makes you run around your home like a cat on catnip. 

What I will share is that sometimes, more is not more, less is more! 

Can I Use the Filling For Something Else?

Lemon filling is outstanding and it is firmer because of the ingredients. 

Simply put, you could even use the lemon filling by scooping graham crackers or fruit into it. 

I was able to create 30 cookies out of this small-batch filling. 

Keep the filling in a refrigerator until you are ready to use it. 

For those that prefer a crisp cookie crunch against the soft filling, don’t fill the cookies except upon demand. 

Conversely, if you prefer a soft cookie, make the icing, fill the wafer cookies and refrigerate them. 

The Thin Cookie 

lemon filling in cookie We always have thin lemon cookies on hand. 

They are very simple cookies with great flavor. 

We’ve purchased the cookies at a large warehouse club brand. 

However, I’ve also found them online too!

Meyer Lemon thin cookies are perfect for this recipe. 

If for some reason, you can’t get them, try Nilla wafers or chocolate wafers! 

Serve these no-bake lemon-filled cookies with …. 

So what in the world do you serve these filled cookies with? 

My kids love these with vanilla milk. 

I’ve nibbled at these with a glass of hot tea and coffee. 

When I’ve given them to my friends, they had iced tea and water. 

Serve them with a side of fruit, like berries if you want to really dress up the plate. 

These no-bake lemon-filled cookies are perfect for parties, gatherings, showers, and all holidays!
