Active Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 4 hours
Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
ICING:
2/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 to 4 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, cream butter, pudding mix and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and milk. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.
- Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, shape each into a 6-in.-long roll. Securely wrap in waxed paper; refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°. Unwrap and cut dough crosswise into 1/2-in. slices. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake until edges are light brown, 8-10 minutes. Cool on pans 2 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, mix confectioners’ sugar and enough lemon juice to reach a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set.
