Ingredients
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 /2 cups shortening butter flavored
- 3 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 /2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 /2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- lemon zest finely chopped, zest of one lemon
- 1 lemon drops
Glaze:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- lemon about 4-5 Tablespoons (I use less because I like my glaze a little thicker, juice of two
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In mixing bowl, cream sugar, shortening, and eggs; add vanilla and lemon extract. Stir in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Crush lemon drops in blender or food processor. Add lemon zest and crushed lemon drops. Roll into balls, flatten slightly with your hand, and bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet (You must use parchment here to avoid sticking).
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly on pan for a couple of minutes. Make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice to desired consistency. Brush glaze over cookie tops after cookies have cooled slightly. If the cookies are too hot the glaze will just melt off. Let cookies cool completely.
