1 cup butter

1 cup shortening

1 cup sugar

1 cup confectioners' sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cream of tartar

1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

1/2 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, cream of tartar, lemon peel and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in cranberries.

Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 350° for 12-14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine the filling ingredients; add lemon juice for consistency and flavor, if desired. Beat until smooth. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.
