Glazed Lemon Sugar Cookies

You know when Handy Hubby ask for something sweet, especially with his heart healthy diet, it is cookies I will make. He works so hard to provide for us, he deserves a treat.   Today's creations are Glazed Lemon Sugar cookies.  John loves sweet and sour so I thought lets try this.  

John and the kids loved these I would say they are a hit.  I have to say they are Yummy!!!

1 c sugar and zest of 1 lemon for the creaming process.

Juice of 1 lemon but we only need 2 tbsp at this point

Added the butter and egg and creamed together until light and fluffy.  I used my egg beaters.  For some strange reason I tend to set fire to mixers.  I go through  one every three to six months.  Love the older technology it saves my behind in the kitchen.

Mix together the dry ingredients.  Then add them to the creamed mixture slowly. 

When it is all mixed and crumbly put it in a plastic zipper bag and roll it into a log form and park it in the ice box for a couple of hours.

When the painful wait of 2 hours is up.  Take the dough out and roll it into balls.  I got 20.  Put them on a cookie sheet and throw them in the oven for 12-14 minutes at 350.

While the cookies are baking, get another cookie sheet and a cooling rack ready, it makes for cleaner glazing.  And I mixed up the super simple glaze.  I combine the lemon zest and the confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)

Then juice that lemon 

I measured it out.  And John is over here licking his lips.  He likes to drink it.

This is the beautiful glaze, I used my egg beaters again.  Trusty eggbeaters.

I dipped each cookie in the glaze and set them on the cookie rack.  At John's insistence, they needed yellow sugar.  So I sprinkled that on top.  

Aren't they pretty?

Ethan, who just got back for the Event at Ozark Christian College, says they taste as
good as they look.  

Handy Hubby loved them too.
