Spring Lemon Cookies

Good Day Everyone! I apologize for the delay in posting...I can't believe it's been almost a month! Lots of travel have kept me away from actually blogging the recipes but believe me, I've still been baking! I shared these fun, fruity cookies with some lovely ladies last weekend. We went up to Wisconsin to visit Danny's grandma last weekend and celebrate Mother's Day. The luscious lemon frosting on these sugar cookies are sure to be snatched right up! And they're easy-peasy to whip together so get busy!!

LEMON FROSTED SUGAR COOKIES

What you need for the cookies:
1 package Pillsbury refrigerated sugar cookie dough
Icing- 
2 cups powdered sugar
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon water
1 teaspoon lemonade (you can just use water if you don't have this on hand)

To make the cookies:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. I cut the roll of dough in half to make it easier to work with. Sprinkle a clean work surface with flour and dust your rolling pin with flour as well.

3. Roll out 1/2 of the dough to about 1/4″ thickness. 3

4. Using a fun-shaped cookie cutter (I used a flower), cut 12 cookies and place them on the first baking sheet. 

5. Bake for 9-11 minutes and then place on a cooling rack to cool. 

6. Repeat with the second half of the dough.

7. While the cookies are baking or cooling, prepare your icing by mixing the powdered sugar with the lemon juice, water and lemonade. (I mixed in some yellow food coloring to make them a little more springy.)

8. When cookies are cool, spread icing on top of cookies.

ENJOY!!
