In a bowl, mix together the lemon juice and the evaporated milk, set aside.

In another, medium size bowl, combine the lemon rind, flour, baking soda and the salt.



In another bowl, with the electric mixer, beat together the shortening and the sugar until mixture is light and fluffy.

Beat in the egg and the vanilla extract.

Using "low" speed on the electric mixer, add the flour and the milk mixtures alternately to the shortening mixture.

On parchment lined baking sheets (2), scoop heaping tablespoons of batter and drop about 2" apart.

Bake at 350° F for 13 - 15 minutes, or until tops are done.

Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Spread the underside of one cookie with jam, and sandwich it with a second cookie, flat side down.

Repeat the above process with the remaining cookies and jam.

If desired, sprinkle the cookies with icing sugar, and serve.

Makes about 15 completed cookies.
