Lemon Rings Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Noir / All my dishes 2 years ago A must...The intense lemon glaze on these cookies is really the most delectable thing about them. The lemon flavor lingers on your tastebuds just long enough after the cookie is gone, to have you pining for another. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a cookie worthy of your morning coffee break....

Ingredients

Dough:

* 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick, 3 ounces) unsalted butter, softened

* 1/2 cup (3 & 1/2 ounces) sugar

* 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

* 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind (zest)

* 1/2 teaspoon salt

* 3 large eggs

* 2 cups (8 & 1/2 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour

* 1 & 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Glaze:

* 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) unsalted butter

* 1/4 cup (2 ounces) lemon juice, freshly squeezed preferred

* 1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) water

* 2 teaspoons grated lemon rind (zest)

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, or 1/8 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia flavor

* 3 cups (12 ounces) confectioners' sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.

To make the dough: In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla, lemon zest and salt. Beat in the eggs, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl. The mixture may look curdled, which is okay. Add the flour and baking powder, beating until smooth.

Spoon the soft dough into a pastry bag fitted with a plain 3/8-inch round tip. Pipe rings, 2 inches in diameter, onto the prepared baking sheets. Wet your fingers and smooth over the place where the rings meet. If you don't have a pastry bag and tip, spoon the dough into a zip-top plastic bag, snip off one corner, and squeeze the dough out into rings.

Bake the cookies for 15 to 20 minutes, until they're golden brown. While the cookies are baking, make the glaze.

To make the glaze: In a small saucepan set over low heat, melt the butter, then stir in the lemon juice, water, lemon zest, and vanilla. Add the confectioners' sugar, stirring to make a smooth glaze. Heat and stir until the mixture is smooth and soft enough to brush on the cookies; if it's too thick, stir in additional water. Remove the glaze from the heat.

Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately brush them with the warm glaze. Transfer them to a rack set over parchment or waxed paper, and let them cool completely.
