Baking the Cookie Cups
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or using muffin liners.
  2. Mix together the flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, salt, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until the dough is smooth and well combined.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the muffin tin, making a small cup shape in each section.
  4. Bake the cookie cups in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
  5. Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks begin to form.
  6. Gradually add powdered sugar and lemon juice to the whipped cream, gently folding until fully combined.
  7. Fill the cooled cookie cups with the luscious lemon cream mixture using a piping bag or spoon.
  8. Chill the filled cookie cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
