When life gives you lemons....make...lemon drop cookies...they ROCK!
REVISED (Thanks Jamie)
Derived from Grandma Watts' Sugar Cookie recipe, these lemon drop cookies were just what Jack was looking for in an after-school snack.
Recipe:
2 sticks butter (room temp.)
2 Eggs (forgotten in previous post)
1 C Sugar
1 t. vanilla
1 t. lemon extract
3-4 C Flour
1/2 t. soda
1/2 t. salt
1/2 C crushed lemon drops
Mix wet items first then mix in all dry ingredients except candy.
Roll out on flour and cut into fun shapes
Sprinkle with candy chips
Bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes
Frosting:
1 brick cream cheese
1 T. melted butter
1 T. fresh lemon juice
Add powdered sugar to make a light fluffy consistency
Frost cool cookies then sprinkle with more candy chips.
