  4 1/2 ts Lemon juice

  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.
