Time 1h50m

Yield 30 to 40 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 sticks (2 cups) salted butter, at room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
6 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 large egg whites
Grated zest of 1 orange
6 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • For the sugar cookie: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a stand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together well. Add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing between each addition. On low speed, slowly add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix. Add the vanilla extract and 2 teaspoons water and mix just until combined; do not over mix! Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes
  • Dust a work surface with flour. Roll out the dough about 1/4 inch thick and cut into shapes using your favorite cookie cutters. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets and bake until no longer translucent and just golden at the edges, 7 to 9 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Continue rolling and baking any remaining dough, re-rolling scraps once.
  • For the icing: Whisk together the lemon juice, cinnamon, egg whites and orange zest in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment and on medium speed, gradually add the confectioners' sugar and beat until the icing is the desired stiffness. Transfer the icing to a piping bag and pipe on the cookies in desired decorative patterns.
