CREAM CHEESE-LEMON SPRITZ COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375F
• 2. Put butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy. Mix in granulated sugar. Add egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix well.
• 3. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl mix into butter mixture on low speed.
• 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place small amount of the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Holding tip very close to the surface, pipe a 2 inch rosette onto baking sheet. Refill pastry bag as needed with remaining dough. (If your dough feels too stiff to pipe, you can scoop the dough with a small cookie scoop, and roll into balls and flatten with the greased bottom of a glass cup)
• 5. Bake cookies until golden brown on the bottom, about 12 minutes.
• 6. Combine 1 cup powdered sugar with the lemonade drink mix in a large plastic bag and shake to mix.
• 7. When the cookies are removed from the oven and while they are still hot, add 4 or 5 at a time to the bag and shake it until the cookies are well coated. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
