Ingredients
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 375°F. Line a cookie sheet with Reynolds KITCHENS™ Parchment Paper set aside.
BEAT butter and sugar until fluffy in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Mix in egg and lemon extract until well blended.
COMBINE flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture until smooth. Divide dough in half shape into 2 flat disks. Wrap dough in parchment paper refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll.
ROLL out the dough 1/8-inch thick between two sheets of lightly floured parchment paper. Tear off two long sheets (at least 24 inches in length) of parchment paper and place the dough in between the two sheets. Next, bring one side of the excess paper down past the edge of your countertop and lean into it so you’re holding it all in place. Roll out the dough while it’s still between the parchment paper.
CUT dough with 2-to-6-inch snowflake cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart on parchment-lined cookie sheet. The SmartGrid lines make spacing your cookies easy! Decorate with colored sprinkles.
BAKE 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to brown on edges. Cool.
MIX powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl, adding milk slowly until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Cooking Tip:
For extra lemon flavor, substitute lemon juice for milk when making the icing.
PORTION cookies into Reynolds KITCHENS™ Wax Paper Sandwich Bags to share with neighbors, take to a bake sale or as a party goodie bag.
