Como fazer Lemon Frosted Sugar Cookies

  1. 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.
  2. Beat in 1 large egg, 2 large egg whites, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. 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.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. 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.
  6. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle.
  8. 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.
  9. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
  11. Immediately remove cookies from baking sheets using a spatula and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. **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.
  13. Add food coloring, if desired.
  14. Spread or drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
  15. Sprinkle with sprinkles or other decorations (optional).
