LITTLE LEMON DROPS
These cookies look so beautiful and delicious in the recent issue of Woman's Day. I had to save the recipe here. The sugared cranberries are optional but are a nice touch. The sugared cranberries do take a lot of time, however. You can make those ahead because they have to be refrigerated 8 hours and then must stand 2 hours after being rolled in sugar. The prep time for the sugared cranberries is not included.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325. Coat mini muffin tins with cooking spray. (I used almost 3 full pans of 24). Beat the ingredients in a large bowl with an electric mixer for several minutes until blended and smooth. Fill each muffin hole about 1/2 full. I used a small cookie scoop and it worked perfectly! Bake for about 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the pan on a wire rack for about 2 minutes and then turn the muffin pan over on a wire rack so that all the muffins are upside down. Cool completely and once all the batter is cooked, you can make the glaze. Lemon Glaze: Place the wire racks over waxed paper. Beat the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip muffins in glaze to coat the bottoms (which are now the tops!) and the sides and let the excess drip off back into the bowl. Place each lemon drop back on the wire racks until the glaze is set. Make sure to eat a few before placing them out for others or you'll never get to try one! Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Make sure to zest the lemons before you juice them. The zest contains a lot of the flavor of the lemon.
- If you don't have a lemon zester, you can use a microplane grater.
- Be careful not to overcook the lemon drops. They should be cooked until they are just set in the center.
- If you want to make the lemon drops even more lemony, you can add a tablespoon of lemon extract to the batter.
- Dust the lemon drops with powdered sugar before serving. This will give them a nice, professional look.
Conclusion:
Lemon drops are a classic candy that is easy to make at home. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. These tips will help you make the best lemon drops possible.
