ingredients

  • Cookies
  • 1 C soft butter -- (2 sticks, 8 ounces)
  • 1/2 C confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon or lime powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/4 C King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 C Hi-maize® Natural Fiber or 1/2 cup cornsta
  • Glaze
  • 1/4 C melted butter
  • 1 tbsp lemon or lime powder
  • 1 1/2 C confectioners’ sugar -- (1 1/2 to 2)
  • Decoration
  • food coloring -- optional
  • sugar flowers for decoration -- optional

directions

Beat the butter, confectioners’ sugar, lemon or lime powder, salt, and vanilla until soft and fluffy. Stir in the egg yolk, then mix in the flour and Hi-maize® Natural Fiber until well blended. Continue mixing until the dough comes together.

Use a teaspoon cookie scoop to form the dough into balls about 1" in diameter, and place them on greased or parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned on the bottom (the tops will be pale). Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes-they’re fragile while warm. Transfer to a rack and cool completely before glazing.

Beat the glaze ingredients together, adjusting the consistency as needed with milk or confectioners’ sugar. Add a few drops of yellow or green food coloring, if desired. Spread glaze on the cookies. Top with a sugar flower, if desired. Store cookies in an airtight container. Yield: about 4 dozen cookies.
