Ingredients:

Cookies:
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 1/4 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract

Glaze:
2 cups confectioner’s sugar
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Sprinkles

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs on high speed for 3-4 minutes.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, and baking powder. Work the butter in with a pastry blender. Stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts gradually until crumbly. Using a mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the eggs.

 Roll the dough into 1″ balls and place on parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 12 – 14 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool on wire racks completely.

Meanwhile, make the glaze. In a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, milk and vanilla. After cookies cool, dip the tops of them into the glaze. Place on wire racks and pour the sprinkles on top. Store in airtight container once glaze is dry.

Freezing Directions: Place cookies in freezer bags or freezer container, using wax paper to separate the layers. Thaw to serve, or warm in microwave for 10 seconds. Servings: 2 1/2 – 3 dozen cookies
