Pink-Lemonade Thumbprints image

These buttery, crumbly yet tender shortbread thumbprints are filled with a lemon glaze that's tinted a lovely shade of pink with a single crushed raspberry. Enjoy a few with a cup of tea -- or a tall glass of their namesake refreshment.

Time 2h

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon coarse salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 raspberry

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, and salt in a bowl. In a large bowl, beat butter with 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in flour mixture on low speed.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Freeze 10 minutes.
  • Bake 10 minutes. Remove sheets one at a time and press the end of a wooden-spoon handle into center of each ball to indent. Continue to bake until golden on bottoms, 16 to 18 minutes more. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks.
  • Whisk together remaining 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice with raspberry in a bowl, breaking up berry. Dust cookies with sugar, spoon glaze into indents, and let set, 10 minutes. Cookies can be stored in a single layer at room temperature up to 1 week.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover lemonade. I always have a pitcher of lemonade in the fridge, so I'm always looking for new ways to use it up.
