Comment préparer Lemon Frosted Sugar Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup Splenda, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ cup plain yogurt, and ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter using a mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 large egg, 2 large egg whites, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup wheat germ, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a resealable bag, flatten into a 1 ½-inch thick disc, and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 20 squares (or use cookie cutters for fun shapes!). If the dough becomes too soft, chill it again before cutting.
- Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Immediately remove cookies from baking sheets using a spatula and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- **For the Lemon Glaze:** In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add more lemon juice or milk as needed to reach desired consistency.
- Add food coloring, if desired.
- Spread or drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
- Sprinkle with sprinkles or other decorations (optional).
