I would just like to start off saying that I am sorry I have been gone for 2 1/2 weeks! I have been so busy this spring break with traveling(with no wifi) and schoolwork that I didn't have time for baking. But I hope this yummy recipe makes up for the lack of blogs.
Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 1/2 cup flour
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
- 1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 2.Beat butter, sugar, salt and lemon rind until smooth. About 2 minutes. Add flour and blend well.
- 3.Dough will look like very course sand. Add the lemon juice and beat just a bit more.
- 4.Gather dough into a ball kneading just a few times so it holds together. Divide in half. Roll out the first half to 1/4 inch thick.
- 5.Cut out with cookie cutter. I used a 2 1/2 inch circle.
- 6.Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 6 minutes. Do not brown. Repeat process for second half of dough.
- 7. While the cookies bake you can make the icing, start by combine powdered sugar, milk and lemon juice. Stir well. Add more lemon juice or milk until the glaze is desired consistency. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Share and enjoy :)
