Time 1h40m

Yield 42

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup confectioners' sugar
¾ cup butter
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 (.25 ounce) package unsweetened lemonade flavor drink mix (such as Kool-Aid®)

Steps:

  • Sift the flour, cornstarch, and salt in a bowl. In a larger bowl, beat 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar with butter using an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy and free of lumps. Beat in the lemon extract, then mix in the flour mixture to make a smooth dough. Chill the dough for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Mix 1 cup of confectioners' sugar with the lemonade drink mix in a plastic zipper bag. Close the zipper, and shake the bag to blend.
  • Scoop up about 1 1/2 teaspoon of dough per cookie, and roll into balls. Place the cookies onto ungreased baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool on sheets for 2 minutes.
  • Drop the warm cookies into the bag of lemon sugar, about 5 or 6 at a time, and shake to coat with the mixture. Shake off excess sugar, and allow the cookies to finish cooling on wire racks. When cool, shake them in the lemon sugar one more time.

LEMON CREAM CHEESE STAR COOKIES



Lemon Cream Cheese Star Cookies image

This is a basic cream cheese cookie recipe that I added lemon and almond slices to. Keep an eye on them while baking--they are so rich they can burn in a minute. You can use either a 5-pointed star or 6-pointed star as a cookie cutter, depending on your religion. My cookie cutter was about 2 inches wide.

Lemon Burst Cake Mix Cookies Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (15.25-ounce) box lemon cake mix
1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip
1 egg
1/3 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, beat cool whip, egg and cake mix until well blended. Dough will be thick and sticky. Drop by teaspoonfuls into a bowl of powdered sugar and roll to coat. Place on parchment lined cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but the cookies will not have as much lemon flavor.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help prevent them from sticking together.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
