Lemon Butter Cookies

I can honestly say most "pretty" cookies

usually don't taste good, however, these do!

Elizabeth and me made a few dozen for her

"Mothers Day Out" teachers, and they loved them!!

Kind of time consuming, but what cookies aren't :)

They were worth it!

Or worth this..

E and Paw Paw, of course she was saying E do it!

At 22 months old she can do anything, or at

least she thinks she can :)

Lemon Butter Cookies:

1 Cup butter soften

1 teaspoon of lemon zest

1 Cup powdered sugar

2 Cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Beat butter and lemon zest till creamy.

Gradually add sugar, beating well.

Combine flour and salt, gradually add to butter

mixture, beating unto blended.

Shape dough in a ball, put in fridge for 20 mins.

Roll dough to 1/8" thickness on a lightly floured surface.

Use your favorite cookie cutters!

Bake for 12 to 14 mins till edges are lightly brown.

The "Pretty" Glaze:

1 Pkg of 16 oz powdered sugar

Food coloring paste

Stir together powdered sugar and

6 tablespoons of water, tint glaze and stir until blended.

All DONE!

Look closely... you can see the lemon zest coming

out of the cookies.
