Ingredients

2 sticks of butter, melted

2 cups sugar

1/3 cup light corn syrup

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon lemon extract

2 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

************************

1 lb (about 4 cups) confectioners sugar

1/2 cup shortening (I used Crisco Butter Flavored Shortening)

2 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon water

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon strawberry extract

2 or 3 drops of red food coloring

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°

Line baking sheets with parchment or wax paper

Combine the butter, sugar, syrup, eggs, and extracts until smooth and then add flour, baking powder, and salt. The dough will be wet, but don’t worry. Drop dough onto baking sheets. I used a baby spoon because I wanted tiny cookies, but you can use a teaspoon and make larger cookies, if you wish.

Bake for 9 - 11 minutes until the edges just start to turn light brown.

While the cookies are cooking, make the frosting. Combine all the remaining ingredients with an electric mixer until smooth. Easy peasy!

Once the cookies are cooled, put a dollop of frosting (depending on the size of your cookie) between two cookies and smoosh. (That is a uh, technical baking term. Don’t look at me like I’m crazy!) I tried to put this icing in a piping bag with a large star tip, but it is just way too thick.
