Springtime Lemon Icebox Cookies

This weekend I tried Martha Stewart’s Lemon Icebox Cookies Recipe.  
They were sooo good – light, lemony, buttery good!!
 I could of eaten just the dough!
I wanted to make them pretty so I divided the dough into 3 logs, 
then rolled each log into a different color of sprinkles – 
yellow, pink and green!
The directions say to chill for 2 hours, but I cheated (because
I hate to wait) and put the logs in my freezer for 25 minutes.
Then I just sliced & baked!
I love how they turned out! They would be perfect on your
Easter Sweets Table or placed into pretty bags tied with a
ribbon for Easter Basket Treats!!  I highly recommend them!!
LEMON ICEBOX COOKIES
INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, (spooned and leveled)
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar, for rolling
DIRECTIONS

  1. STEP 1

    In a food processor, pulse flour, confectioners’ sugar, salt, and lemon zest until combined. Add butter and process until sandy. Add egg yolks and lemon juice; pulse until dough comes together. Divide dough in half and form each into a 1 1/2-inch-wide log. Wrap in plastic and freeze until firm, about 2 hours (or up to 1 month).

  2. STEP 2

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Spread granulated sugar on a piece of parchment; roll logs over sugar to coat. Slice logs into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange, 1 inch apart, on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until cookies are golden brown around edges, about 15 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool.

Have a great weekend!!
