Lemon Drop Candy Cookies
These are my dad's new favorites (I'm taking liberties in saying that, of course). It's a recipe from a morning show out here. I had to post it for archival purposes because I'm going to make them for my dad this weekend. If you like lemon, you'll love these treats!
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 ½ cups Butter Flavor Crisco
3 large eggs
2 t. vanilla extract
1 t. lemon extract
4 cups flour
1 ½ t. baking soda
1 ½ t. baking powder
1 t. salt
Finely chopped lemon zest from 1 lemon
1 (6 oz.) pkg. lemon drop candies, crushed
1 cup powdered sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In mixing bowl cream sugar, shortening and eggs; add extracts. Stir in dry ingredients, lemon zest and crushed lemon drops. Roll into 1 inch balls, flatten slightly and bake on parchment-lined baking sheet for 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges. Let cool slightly on pan 1 to 2 minutes.
Make a glaze by mixing powdered sugar with lemon juice; then brush lightly over cookie tops.
Let cookies cool completely.
