LEMON SNOWFLAKE COOKIES



Lemon Snowflake Cookies image

These whisper crisp cookies are delicious. By using a cut glass bottomed tumbler instead of a plain one to press the cookies down you get a simple, elegant snowflake imprint in the cookie tops. In keeping with the snowflake theme you can dust the tops of the finished cookies with a little icing sugar and edible snow coloured glitter.

Time 40m

Yield 45-50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/8 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, slightly softened
1/3 cup flavourless canola oil
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, for shaping the cookies
1/2 cup icing sugar, plus
3 tablespoons icing sugar, for garnish
1 large egg
1 large lemon, zest of, finely grated
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
34 teaspoons lemon extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
white edible glitter (or clear) (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and grease several baking sheets with nonstick spray.

Press down on cookie tops until design is imprinted and cookies are flattened to about 2-inches in diameter. (You may need to wipe sugar off glass peridically and re-oil)Garnish cookie tops with edible glitter if using.
  • Bake one sheet at a time in the upper third of the oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cookies are barely firm in the centers and faintly tinged with colour at the edges. Remove from oven, wait 2 or 3 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet to wire racks to finish cooling.
  • Lightly dust tops with a little icing sugar to finish off. Let cool completely.
  • Will keep in airtight storage at room temperature for up to 10 days or can freeze for up to a month.

Provided by Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons meringue powder
1 tablespoon cold water
1/2 cup powdered sugar
Granulated sugar, if desired

Steps:

  • In large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar with electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in egg until blended. On low speed, beat in flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Divide dough into 4 parts; shape each part into a flat disk. Wrap each disk separately in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until completely chilled.
  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with cooking parchment paper. On floured surface, roll 1 disk at a time to 1/4-inch thickness (keep remaining dough refrigerated). Cut with snowflake cutters; place on cookie sheets. Reroll scraps once, chilling dough again before cutting.
  • Bake 8 to 11 minutes or until light golden. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • In medium bowl, beat meringue powder and cold water with electric mixer on medium speed until peaks form. Gradually beat in powdered sugar until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Spoon frosting into decorating bag fitted with medium round tip; pipe frosting on cookies. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Let stand about 5 minutes or until frosting is set.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use unsalted butter at room temperature. This will help the cookies to cream together smoothly.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting it out. This will help the cookies to hold their shape better.
  • If you want to make the cookies ahead of time, you can freeze them unbaked for up to 2 months. Just thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
  • For a fun twist, try dipping the cookies in melted chocolate or frosting before serving.
