Lowfat and refreshing! I made these this morning and they were pretty simple. The glaze may need a little more liquid added I've found I'll let you decide.
you will need
3/4 cup butter
3/4 granulated sugar
2 teaspoons grated fresh lemon zest (approx. 1 large lemon)
1 egg
2 1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice (I added a little more)
2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup coarse white sparking sugar
1. In large bowl, beat butter and granulated sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. add lemon zest and egg; beat until well blended. on low speed gradually beat in flour and salt until well blended.
2. Heat oven to 350f. On floured surface roll dough to 1/8 thick. Cut with snowflake cookie cutters (or star cookie cutters) Place on ungreased cookie sheets 2 inches apart.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies just begin to brown. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks cool completely about 10 mintues.
4. In small bowl mix powdered sugar, lemon juice and water. Spread glaze on cookies, sprinkle tops with coarse sugar and allow to dry. Store in airtight container.
