Holiday Baking: Lemon Drop Cookies

If you like a lemony flavor and sweetness, this cookie is for you.  This is another new cookie recipe from Tastefully Simple.  I didn't put the decorations on the cookies as I really didn't have any small enough to work.  Also, my cookie didn't flatten out like the original pictures shown.  However, they are still delicious!

Ingredients:

1 pkg Sunny Lemon Pound Cake & Icing Mix
1/2 c butter, softened
2 large eggs
2 Tbsp water
Decorations of choice such as sprinkles, pearls, candy-coated chocolates

Instructions:



1.  In large bowl, combine Sunny Lemon Pound Cake & Icing Mix packet 1, butter and eggs; mix until well combined and dough is formed.  Form into 1-inch balls.  Refrigerate 2 hours.

2.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Place dough balls 2-inches apart on a large greased baking sheet.  Bake 13-15 minutes or until set.  Let cool on pan 1 minute.

3.  Place a cooling rack over parchment paper, wax paper or aluminum foil.  Transfer cookies to cooling rack.  Cool completely.

4.  In small bowl, combine Sunny Lemon Pound Cake & Icing Mix packet 2 and water.  Whisk until smooth.  Spread cookies with icing and decorate as desired.

Makes about 24 cookies.

Make Ahead & Freeze:  Prepare through step 1.  Place between sheets of Press 'n Seal plastic, sealing around each dough ball.  Place sheets of dough in a gallon freezer bag with packet 2 icing mix.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Continue with step 2.
