Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If you’re like me and enjoy keeping things tidy, this step is essential! In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Then, add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until everything is well combined and you have a lovely, creamy filling that’ll have your taste buds singing. It’s honestly a delight to taste this mixture!
