Glazed Lemon Cookie Strips
|
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter -- (1 stick) softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg -- lightly beaten
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1/2 cup raspberry preserves
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Method
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl. Mix in the butter, sugar, egg, and lemon zest to form a smooth dough. Press the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter two cookies sheets. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 2 x 3/4-inch strips. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until just golden at the
edges, rotating the sheets halfway through for even baking. Transfer to racks and let cool completely.
Reserve 1 teaspoon of the lemon juice. Combine the remaining juice with the preserves in a small saucepan and warm over low heat until liquid. Spread the cookies with the preserves. Mix the
confectioners' sugar with the reserved 1 teaspoon lemon juice until a thick frosting has formed. Spread over the cookies.
Makes 18 cookies
