Luscious Lemon Cookies
Total time = 20 minutes |
|
Try
these luscious lemon cookies that melt in your mouth when you're in the
mood for a real treat. This recipe yields four dozen cookies.
|
|
What you'll need for the cookies: 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cornstarch 1/3 cup powdered sugar 3/4 cup softened butter 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 1 tablespoon lemon juice What you'll need for the frosting: 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup softened butter 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 1 teaspoon lemon juice |
 | In large mixing bowl,
combine all cookie ingredients. Beat the mixture at
low speed, scraping the bowl frequently, until it is well mixed. Divide the
dough in half and shape each half into an 8-inch by 1-inch roll. Wrap the
rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm (one or two hours). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. With a sharp knife, cut each roll into 1/4-inch slices. Place the slices two inches apart on cookie sheets and bake for eight to 12 minutes, or until set (cookies will not brown). Let cool completely. |
