Since Amazing Race has started up again, it means that every Sunday I'm at the parents house for dinner and TV. Last Sunday, I decided to bake some cookies for the dessert portion. Grabbed my trusty Mixer Bible and found some delicious sounding Lemon Glazed Cookies (it's getting cold here in Idaho and nothing goes better with tea than lemon cookies!) Off I rode to Safeway to grab a few lemons (and a citrus press the greatest invention in the world!! why didn't I get one sooner?) Got the batter all mixed up and ready to go (no baking at home since the oven has been not holding its temp. lately) and then with the dogs in tow it was off to the parents. After some trial and error, I was able to get a (fairly) uniform amount of dough onto the parchment paper and into the oven. As they baked, I made the glaze (fresh lemon juice and powdered sugar). Once they were done and had cooled, I brushed on the glaze and then had to wait until the glaze hardened. Time for the taste test! I thought they would be a bit more like lemon coolers, but they were softer and a bit more dense. The glaze was delicious (it would have been a mediocre cookie without the glaze) and after my first batch, I made sure to put more glaze on the cookies. With the chill in the air, I have had many opportunities to eat these cookies while sipping on tea (lemon of course!) and almost a week later the cookies are still good. I will definitely make these cookies again. Until next time...
