1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1/2 cup white sugar
1 (3 ounce) package nonstick gelatin
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 (3 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
1/2 cup butter
Heat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare cookie sheets by placing 8 cookies on each sheet. Melt butter in a large bowl over medium heat. Beat in eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in gelatin and water. Mix slowly, adding one-quarter cup at a time until mixture is thickened.
Caution: the pudding will be very thick! Spread over cookies.
Bake cookies in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until lightly browned. Do not overbake! Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
