Lemon meringue pie, the recipe step by step

Preparation

• 1) Combine all cookie ingredients in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 8x1-inch log. Wrap each in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate until firm (1 to 2 hours).
  Heat oven to 350°F.
• Cut each log into 1/4-inch slices with sharp knife. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until set. Cookies will not brown. Cool completely. Combine all frosting ingredients in small bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until fluffy. Frost cooled cookies.
• 2) Cream peanut butter and margarine, add sugars and mix well. Add eggs and mix until creamy. Add remaining ingredients. Chill for one hour-I usually skip this step and chill between batches.
• Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets- do not flatten. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for about 5 minutes then transfer onto newspaper, he newspaper soaks up extra grease so the cookies don't become crumbly.
  
• 3) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine 1 c.up brown sugar, butter, egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a bowl, beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed; add flour and baking powder and beat well. Shape dough into 1 1/4" balls and place about 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Press your thumb in the center of each to make an indentation.
• Mix all filling ingredients thoroughly in a small bowl and fill each cookie with 1 rounded teaspoon of filling. Bake 8-12 minutes, or until lightly browned. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
