I made a few changes (upped the lemon flavor and made them drop cookies instead of balls~use link to see original recipe) These cookies are pretty good fresh, but even better an hour or 2 later when the glaze soaks into the cookie
- Cookies:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 1/2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (2 ounces) block-style 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- zest from 1 lemon
- Glaze:
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- a drop of yellow food coloring if desired
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- To prepare cookies, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
- Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, butter, cheese, lemon juice and zest and vanilla in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Add flour mixture; stir until just combined (dough will be dry and crumbly but if you overmix it gets really sticky). Spoon drop cookies onto a baking sheet (or form into balls if preferred) Bake at 375° for 10 minutes or until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes on pans on wire racks. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
- To prepare glaze, combine 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar and lemon juice, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cookies (or dip cookies into glaze if making balls)
