Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt for 30 seconds, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together butter, granulated sugar, lemon zest and vanilla beans (if using vanilla wait to add) on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time, blending until combined after each addition (and blending in vanilla if using, with second egg). With mixer set on low speed and working in three separate batches, add 1/3 of the flour mixture alternating with 1/2 of the buttermilk and mixing just until combined after each addition. Drop dough about 3 Tbsp at a time (I just left out about 1 Tbsp using a 1/4 cup measuring cup) onto Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets (I only fit 6 per sheet). Bake in preheated oven until centers are just set, about 14 - 16 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheet several minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Cool completely. Spread vanilla icing over half of the flat side of each cookie then return to wire rack and sprinkle with pistachios and allow to rest until nearly set, about 15 minutes. Spread chocolate icing over uncoated halves of cookies, sprinkle with freeze dried strawberries if using, and allow to rest at room temperature until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. For vanilla icing:In a mixing bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp corn syrup, 1 1/2 Tbsp water, and the vanilla extract. Add additional water to thin as needed 1/2 tsp at a time (should be a thick glaze so it doesn't just run of but should spread easily).For the chocolate icing:In a microwave safe bowl, heat chocolate chips and butter on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring after each interval until melted and smooth. Stir in 1 Tbsp corn syrup. Recipe Source: Adapted lightly from Gourmet via Epicurious

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
