Lemon Meltaway Cookies

I'm a sucker for anything lemon. And these are easy and FANTASTIC!

Cookie Ingredients
1 cup butter
½ cup powdered sugar
1 ½ tsp lemon juice
½ cup cornstarch
1 2/3 cup flour


Icing Ingredients
Powdered Sugar
Lemon Juice
Yellow food coloring, if desired

 
Cream butter/margarine and sugar. Add remaining ingredients and combine.

Bake at 350 for 9-10 minutes. Cookies are done when top starts to crack. Edges may be slightly browned.

Let cool completely.

To make icing, simply put some powdered sugar in a bowl, add some lemon juice and food coloring, mix until not lumpy. You can't mess this up, you can add more lemon juice to get the sugar not lumpy and if it ends up too runny, you can always add more powdered sugar.

Put on cookies with the back of a spoon and working gently, because these cookies are really tender, spread out.
