Steps:
- For the cookies: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the confectioners' sugar and butter. Add the lemon extract, vanilla extract and eggs, and mix until the eggs are incorporated. Add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing between each addition, and then add the zest. The dough should be soft, but not sticky. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thick. Use snowflake cookie cutters to cut out the cookies (25 to 30 cookies depending on the size) and place on the prepared sheets. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the cookies to cooling racks and cool to room temperature before decorating.
- Roll out the modeling chocolate using a pasta roller or heavy rolling pin to 1/8-inch thick. Using the same snowflake cookie cutter (wiped clean with a paper towel), cut out the snowflake shapes.
- For the syrup: Warm the corn syrup in the microwave, 20 to 30 seconds, then stir in the almond extract.
- Using a pastry brush, paint the top of a cookie with the syrup and immediately, but carefully, place a modeling chocolate snowflake on top. Position the modeling chocolate carefully before setting on a cookie, as it will stick very quickly. Rub your fingers over the edges gently to secure the modeling chocolate. Repeat for the remaining cookies.
- Use the remaining syrup to decorate the cookies. Paint a design, the edges or the entire surface of the cookies, and top with nonpareils, sanding sugar, crystal sugar or other decorations.

Steps:
- 1. Put cake mix, cool whip and egg in a medium size mixing bowl. Mix well with mixer. Mixture will be very sticky. Place powder sugar in small bowl. Drop tablespoon amount of cake mixture into powder sugar and roll. Drop onto parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. Store in airtight container
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your snowflakes a brighter flavor and a more vibrant color.
- Grate the lemon zest finely. This will help the zest distribute evenly throughout the dough and give your snowflakes a more consistent flavor.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help the dough be less sticky and easier to work with.
- Roll the dough out thinly. The thinner the dough is, the crispier your snowflakes will be.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into snowflakes. This will help you get clean, even cuts.
- Bake the snowflakes until they are golden brown. This will give them a delicious, slightly caramelized flavor.
- Let the snowflakes cool completely before serving. This will help them crisp up and hold their shape.
Conclusion:
Lemon snowflakes are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Whether you enjoy them plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with a dollop of whipped cream, lemon snowflakes are sure to be a hit.
