Directions
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Place the shortening, powdered sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat on medium speed until the mixture is pale and well-combined, about 1 minute.
- Add the flour and corn starch to the bowl, and beat on low speed, scraping the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed, until a smooth dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

They were pretty good! I wish there was a little bit more lemon flavor but that’s probably fixable by adding more lemon zest.
