 the edges. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.

 In a small bowl, cream the butter, lemon juice, and orange zest
 until fluffy. Gradually add confectioners' sugar until smooth. Tint
 yellow if desired. Spread about 1 ts filling on bottoms of the
 plain cookies; place nut-topped cookies over filling.
