Frosty Snowmen Cookie Recipe
1 C. powdered sugar
1 C. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg yolk
2 t. grated lemon zest
2-1/4 C. all-purpose flour
1/8 t. salt
Glaze:
2 C. powdered sugar
2 T. fresh lemon juice
1 T. Framboise or water
In a bowl, using an electric mixer or a spoon, cream together the sugar, butter,
egg yolk, and lemon zest until light. Add the flour and salt and mix quickly to
form a dough. Gather into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 20
minutes, or until firm.
Preheat the oven to 375� F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper, or use
nonstick baking sheets. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough about
3/16 inch thick. Using a 2-1/2-inch snowman cutter, cut out cookies. Place on
the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
One sheet at a time, bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden
brown. Transfer to racks to cool.
To make the glaze:
In a bowl, stir together the sugar and lemon juice and Framboise or water to
make a thin, transparent glaze. If necessary, add a few drops of hot water to
achieve the desired consistency. Using an icing spatula, spread the icing on the
cooled cookies. Let the cookies stand until the icing is set.
Store the cookies between sheets of waxed paper in an airtight container for up
to 4 or 5 days
Makes about 6 dozen.
