Lemon
(citrus) Cookies
Yields: Approx 3-4 Dozen Small 2” Cookies
The recipe was revised
from the original found in an All You Magazine
because I did not have lemons or lemon juice on hand. I improvised with lemon
extract, orange zest and orange juice and they turned out great.
Ingredients:
2 ½ cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 sticks Butter
1 ½ cups sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp Lemon extract (I used Dollar Tree extract, so this may not be as strong as a name brand)
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting:
1 Cups Powdered Sugar
1-2 tbsp lemon or orange juice(add
1 tbsp and stir. Consistency should be thick, yet runny.
1 Tbsp orange or lemon
zest
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350*
Cream butter and sugar in
a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, lemon
extract and lemon or orange juice.
In a small bowl, combine
flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Slowly add flour to
creamed mixture and mix until combined well.
Drop by rounded teaspoons
onto parchment lined ungreased cookie sheet. Space them out since they spread. Bake 7-10
minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool for one minute on baking sheet
before removing to cookie rack. Allow cookies to cool before drizzling with
frosting.
Combine frosting
ingredients; place into a * decorator icing bag and drizzle cookies with
frosting in a zig-zag fashion.
*Use a plastic food
storage bag to pipe frosting on cookies for easy cleanup.
