Frilly Lemon Meltaway Cookies

What could be more lovely than Frilly Lemon Cookies at a
Tea Party? I adore Lemon Meltaway Cookies and have been
making them for Tea Parties for years. I usually follow the
basic directions and form the cookie dough into logs, which
are sliced and baked. Today, I thought I'd try rolling the
dough out and using my flower shaped cookie cutters!

I rolled the dough out using a light dusting of powdered sugar.
No problem!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• Frosting
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Combine all cookie ingredients in large bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.
2. Divide dough in half. Shape each half into 8x1-inch log. Wrap each in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 1-2 hours or until firm.
3. Heat oven to 350°F.
4. Cut each log into 1/4-inch slices with sharp knife. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-12 minutes or until set. (Cookies will not brown.) Cool completely.
5. Combine all frosting ingredients in small bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until fluffy. Frost cooled cookies.
