Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 Tbsp. finely shredded lemon peel
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 quarts vanilla ice cream
• 10 oz. lemon curd (about 1 cup)

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Add sugar, 1 Tbsp. of the lemon peel, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt. Beat until combined. Beat in egg and vanilla. Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour.
2. Pat half the dough into a foil-lined 9x9x2-inch baking pan. Bake 12 minutes. Using foil, lift cookie from pan. Cool on a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough.
3. Soften ice cream. Fold in lemon curd and remaining lemon peel. Line the same baking pan with plastic wrap. Place one baked cookie square. Cover. Freeze 4 hours. Cut into 25 squares while frozen. Roll sides in crushed lemon candies, if desired. Wrap and freeze to store.
