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

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
