As a fan of sweets, oftentimes they become too sugary and heavy, so i hope to find ways to balance that. I love citrus-y flavors, so i figure that'll probably work. Here's to trying a butter cookie crisp, with citrus glaze!
[no lemon... replacing with lime!]
Cookie:
(makes 24)
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp zest, fine
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
3/4 granulated sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp fresh citrus juice
Glaze:
1 cup icing sugar
2 tbsp zest, fine
3 tbsp fresh citrus juice
Directions
1. Preheat to 350 F.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and zest.
3. Using an electronic beater, whip butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Incorporate egg, vanilla, and juice until combined.
5. Mixer on low, incorporate flour mixture by parts until all combined.
6. Drop dough 1 inch apart on parchment paper using a tablespoon. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
7. Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk icing sugar, zest, and juice until smooth. Add juice to the consistency of your liking, taste testing from time to time.
8. Cool the cookies, then dip in glaze...or however you want to decorate them. Enjoy!
