Cupcakes that taste almost exactly like Lemon Cream Filled cookies from the grocery store.

For the Cupcakes
2 sticks of unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups of flour
5/8 cup of milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
5/6 cup of sugar (or you can do what I did and add 1/2 cup of sugar then 1/3 cup of sugar)
3/8 cup of brown sugar
2 eggs
For the Frosting
1/2 cup of solid shortening
1/2 cup of unsalted butter
2 tbsp lemon extract (may add more as desired for tasting)
1-2 tsp lemon extract (may add more as desired)
1 pound or 4 cups of powered sugar
milk or lemon juice as needed for consistency

For the cake Preheat you oven to 350 Brown your butter in a medium saucepan. It should turn a color similar to caramel. This gives your butter a nutty flavor. Make sure to stir occasionally, and to watch it...
