Como fazer Butter Meltaways With Lemon Frosting
- **Cookies:**
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Beat 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until light and creamy.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup cornstarch.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a 6-inch log. Wrap each log tightly in wax paper dusted with powdered sugar.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Unwrap the chilled dough logs.
- Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 18 (1/2-inch thick) slices.
- Place the slices 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Baking time may vary depending on your oven and cookie sheet.
- Remove cookies from oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- **Lemon Frosting:**
- In a medium bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter at medium speed until creamy.
- Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until smooth and well combined.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice, beating until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency. Add more lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- Stir in the zest of 1 lemon.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread the lemon frosting evenly over each cookie.
