    1/2 cup stick margarine or butter, softened $
    1 large egg
    1 large egg white
    1 tablespoon fat-free milk
    1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    1/8 teaspoon salt

    Icing:

    2 cups powdered sugar
    1 tablespoon fat-free milk
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Food coloring (optional)
    Assorted sugar sprinkles (optional)

    Recipe




    To prepare cookies, beat granulated sugar and margarine in a large bowl at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes).

    Add egg and next 4 ingredients (egg through 1 teaspoon vanilla), beating well.

    Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

    Combine flour and next 4 ingredients (flour through salt).

    Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, stirring well.

    Spoon dough onto plastic wrap; flatten to a 1 1/2-inch thickness.

    Cover tightly with plastic wrap; chill 4 hours or overnight.

    Preheat oven to 400°.

    Roll dough to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a heavily floured surface.

    Cut dough into 20 (3-inch) squares using a sharp knife.

    Place cookies 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.

    Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until golden.

    Immediately remove cookies from pans using a wide spatula, and cool on wire rack.

    To prepare icing, combine powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.

    Stir in food coloring, if desired.

    Spread about 2 teaspoons of the icing over each cookie, or place icing in a small zip-top plastic bag.

    Snip a tiny hole in one corner, and drizzle icing over cookies.

    Sprinkle with assorted sugar sprinkles, if desired.
