These light, citrus cookies are a nice change of pace from typical Christmas cookies. Melted vanilla chips drizzled over the top is the fantastic finishing touch. Ingredients:
1-1/3 cups butter, softened |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
3/4 cup vanilla or white chips, melted |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the lemon juice, peel and vanilla. Gradually add flour and mix well.
2. Shape dough into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Coat the bottom of a glass with cooking spray; dip in sugar. Flatten cookies with glass, redipping in sugar as needed.
3. Bake at 325° for 11-13 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Drizzle with melted vanilla chips. Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.
