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:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This will help ensure that the dough comes together smoothly and evenly.
- Use high-quality cream cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the cookies.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
These lemon cream cheese spritz cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a sweet and tangy flavor that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are baking them for a party or just to enjoy as a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
