 Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.


 Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.


 In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.


Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.


Scoop out a tablespoon of dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a teaspoon of the cream cheese filling in the center and fold the dough around it, sealing the edges. Roll gently into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.


 Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely
