Ingredients
Cookies
- 1/2 pound butter
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 1/2 cups cake flour
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Frosting
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup boiling water
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- To make the cookies, cream together the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl until fluffy. Add the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, combine the cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in batches, stirring well.
- Using a soup spoon, drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto buttered baking sheets and bake until the edges begin to brown, 20 to 30 minutes. Then remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely.
- To make the frosting, put the powdered sugar in a bowl and stir in enough water to make the mixture thick and spreadable.
- Transfer half of the frosting to the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Add the chocolate and warm the mixture until the chocolate has melted and the frosting is smooth. Remove from the heat.
- With a brush, coat half of each cookie with chocolate frosting and the other half with white frosting.
