Recipe Introduction


Almost as much fun to eat as they are to decorate, these lemony cookies are the perfect backdrop for baking bits, sprinkles or glitter.


List of Ingredients




* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1 tablespoon milk
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
* FROSTING:
* 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon butter
* 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* Assorted M&M's miniature baking bits


Recipe



In a small mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in milk and vanilla. Gradually add flour and cinnamon to creamed mixture. Shape dough into an 8-in. x 2-in. roll; wrap in plastic wrap and freeze.

To use frozen cookie dough: Unwrap cookie dough and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.

For frosting, in another small mixing bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar. Gradually beat in lemon juice. Frost cookies. Decorate with baking bits.


Yield: 2 dozen.
