Step 1

Heat oven to 375.

Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium-sized bowl.

Place butter and cream cheese in another bowl. Beat on medium with an electric mixer until creamy. Add egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

In additions of three, add the flour mixture to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Beat on low until combined. Place 2/3 c of the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with the tip of your choice. Pipe the dough into bow shapes.
