How cute are these?!? Erin came out to our place to bake her cookies for this Saturday's Cookie Exchange and this was the recipe she selected from one of my holiday cookbooks (thank you, Betty Crocker!). They came out light, much like a shortbread, with a fantastic lemon glaze. Read more They will be the hit of the Exchange, I'm sure! See less
Ingredients
- cookies shopping list
- ¾ cup butter, softened shopping list
- ¾ cup sugar shopping list
- 2 teaspssons grated lemon peel shopping list
- 1 large egg shopping list
- 2¼ cups white flour shopping list
- ¼ teaspoon salt shopping list

How to make it
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add lemon peel and egg; beat until well blended.
- Gradually beat in flour and salt at low speed, until well blended (you may have to start mixing by hand after the first cup).
- On floured surface, roll dough 1/8” to 1/4" thick.
- Cut with lightly floured snowflake shaped cookie cutter.
- Place cookies on very lightly greased cookie sheet, place 1” apart (they really didn't spread much, so they can be pretty close together).
- Bake at 350 degrees until done (they shouldn't brown), about 9 to 11 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool a couple minutes, then place them on waxed paper or a cooling rack.
- Prepare glaze by mixing all ingredients together until smooth.
- Drizzle glaze over cookies are still warm, then sprinkle crystalized sugar over the tops.
- Store in an airtight container, or freeze (for maximum freshness).

Yum Erin made a great selection for your cookie exchange. Im sure they will be a hit. Did you get your rules and guidelines together for it? You know you don't want any store packaged cookies or ritz crackers dipped in chocolate!
