CREAM CHEESE-LEMON SPRITZ COOKIES
Cookies and Tarts, Week 10, March 29 These cookies are so tender and delicious! They have a very zesty, lemony flavor, only enhanced by the slightly sour tang of the cream cheese. If you don't want too much lemon flavor, simply omit the unsweetened lemonade mix. You can also use a dough gun if you have one to make some...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375F
- 2. Put butter and cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until creamy. Mix in granulated sugar. Add egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice; mix well.
- 3. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl mix into butter mixture on low speed.
- 4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place small amount of the dough in a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Holding tip very close to the surface, pipe a 2 inch rosette onto baking sheet. Refill pastry bag as needed with remaining dough. (If your dough feels too stiff to pipe, you can scoop the dough with a small cookie scoop, and roll into balls and flatten with the greased bottom of a glass cup)
- 5. Bake cookies until golden brown on the bottom, about 12 minutes.
- 6. Combine 1 cup powdered sugar with the lemonade drink mix in a large plastic bag and shake to mix.
- 7. When the cookies are removed from the oven and while they are still hot, add 4 or 5 at a time to the bag and shake it until the cookies are well coated. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your cookies a brighter, more flavorful taste than bottled lemon juice.
- Zest your lemons before juicing them. This will help to release the oils in the lemon peel, which will add even more flavor to your cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Lemon cheese spritz cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their bright lemon flavor and creamy cheese filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give lemon cheese spritz cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
