Lemon Butter Cookies and Three Owls



The base for these cookies is the recipe for Key Lime Frosties in Nancy Baggett's All-American Cookie Book. An uncredited version of the recipe is available online here. For this batch I used lemon instead of lime. Also I added a few drops of yellow food coloring to the glaze, and omitted the zest.


The cookies have a pillow texture, very tender and melting. The lemon flavor actually develops over a few days. And they are quite delicious right out of the freezer.
