Time 4h

Yield 120

1 cup butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup ground blanched almonds

Roll dough out to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with crescent cookie cutter. Reroll scraps and cut again (you may need to re-chill the dough to make it workable). Place the cutouts 1/2-inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees F for 8-10 minutes or until done. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute then remove to a cooking rack. To ice the cookies, combine the confectioners sugar, vanilla, and water until smooth.

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use real butter, not margarine, and use pure vanilla extract, not imitation.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The cookies should be baked at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10-12 minutes.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before decorating: This will help the frosting set properly.
