CREAM CHEESE-LEMON SPRITZ COOKIES

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.

Mix in egg and egg yolk until incorporated. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; mix to combine. Slowly add flour mixture until just incorporated; batter will be thick and sticky. Scoop dough with a small cookie scoop and drop 1 inch apart onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 11 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough.
• While cookies are baking, whisk together cream cheese, milk, lemon juice, and lemon zest for the glaze in a small bowl until no lumps remain. Slowly whisk in powdered sugar until glaze is runny in consistency. Hold each warm cookie upside down and dip and twist in the glaze. Shake off excess glaze, and place cookie upright on a cooling rack. Repeat with remaining cookies and glaze.
