    List of Ingredients




    Blossom Cookies

    1 1/4 cups Butter, softened
    1 cup sugar
    1 egg
    1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon peel
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
    3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/8 teaspoon salt

    Glaze:

    2 cups powdered sugar
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 drop red food color
    2 to 3 tablespoons water
    Yellow food color, if desired

    Recipe



    Combine butter and sugar in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Add egg, lemon peel and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder, ginger and salt. Beat until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour).

    Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 3/4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter. For each cookie, arrange four hearts with points together on ungreased cookie sheet. (Points and sides should overlap slightly.) Bake for 5 to 6 minutes or until set. Cool completely.

    Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, lemon juice and red food color in small bowl; mix well. Stir in water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired glazing consistency. Spread about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon glaze on each cooled cookie. Dot yellow food color in center of each cookie with toothpick, if desired. Makes 6 dozen cookies
