Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/2 tablespoon lemongrass minced extra fine, divided
- 1 tablespoon water
- 3 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Food Coloring
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using your electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and vanilla together until it is combined.
- Place the lemongrass and 1 tablespoon water together in a small bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute to loosen the flavors. Divide into two equal portions.
- Turn the mixer on low, then add half the lemongrass, salt and flour a little at a time, until the dough comes together.
- Dump the dough onto a floured work surface. Roll the dough out until it is 1/3 of an inch thick. Using a floured 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out cookies and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Try to cut out as many as possible from the first sheet of dough. Each time you gather and re-roll the dough the cookies will get a little tougher.
- Bake for 20 minutes—until barely golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
- Pour 3 tablespoons of milk in a medium bowl. Add the remaining lemongrass and microwave for another minutes to allow the lemongrass to infuse into the milk. Whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth. Add a drop of yellow and a tiny drop of green food coloring if desired.
- Dip the tops of each cookie in the glaze. Use a spoon to scrape the excess off the sides, then place back on the parchment paper to dry.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
