Critical Success Points

  • Thicken the cream without letting it burn
  • Cool the cream to ~40 °C before adding the butter
  • Observe the resting time for butter and dough in the refrigerator
  • Dig a well deep enough for the filling
  • Do not exceed 12 minutes of baking to avoid the cookies hardening

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot saucepan and stir constantly to avoid burns.
  • Use the oven with care; hot trays can cause burns.
  • Be careful with knives or graters when zesting lemon.
