~ Iced Lemon Drop Cookies ~ image

This cookie recipe comes from a very old cookbook of my Grams and the title of the book is get this, "Cookie Cookbook"...LOL It's a paperback book which contains over 500 cookie recipes. I'm going to try more of them in the coming months. I tweaked this recipe and added my own glaze. Rolled some and dropped some. The recipe calls...

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 c sugar
1 c shortening
1/2 tsp salt
yellow food coloring, i added about 7 drops
1 egg
1 c sour milk or buttermilk ( i used buttermilk )
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp lemon extract - i used 2 1/2
3 - 4 c flour - i used about 3 1/2 cups
MY LEMON GLAZE
1 Tbsp softened butter
3 1/2 c confectioner's sugar
1 lemon, juiced and the zezt of the lemon
if needs more thinning, i add a little milk or cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. In a bowl, combine sugar, shortening, salt and food coloring. Blend thoroughly. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. I lightly floured a surface on my counter to roll the cookies and cut with a biscuit cutter. Recipe states to just roll small portions at a time. Like I said in description of recipe, I got lazy and made drop cookies as well, using my small cookie scoop ( about 1 tbsp. ) I sprayed a sheet pan, it didn't call for that, but I always do. Place on sheet, about 1 inch apart. Recipe states to sprinkle with sugar if desired. I didn't, as I used my lemon glaze. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes. Remove cookies from pan, cool on rack and frost if desired. I think the addition of my glaze really put these over the top.
  • 2. Glaze : Place all ingredients in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth If needs thinned, either add more juice or milk. If needs to be thicker, add more sugar.
  • 3. Spread over cooled cookies. I sprinkled mine with yellow sugar crystals.

These cookies are a bit too lemony for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were a bit dry.

I've tried many lemon drop cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the icing is perfectly tart.
