Ingredients

1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, if desired

Steps:

In large bowl, beat butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, the vanilla and 1 egg with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in 2 cups flour and the salt. Cover; refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat all filling ingredients except powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with wire whisk. Cover; refrigerate.
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 48 mini muffin cups, 1 3/4 x1 inch, with cooking spray. Shape dough into 48 one-inch balls. Place 1 ball in each muffin cup. Press dough into bottom and up side of cups. Spoon slightly less than 1 tablespoon filling into each cup.
