Lemonade Cookies

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Combine flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt in a medium bowl and combine thoroughly. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, egg, zest and lemon juice and mix on medium speed until well blended. Beat in the flour mixture until it is fully incorporated.

Grab sections of dough and roll into logs about 8 inches long; pat down the log and cut into 2-inch pieces. You could also just make these into balls and flatten them a bit into circles with the bottom of a sugared glass.

Bake for 10-12 minutes on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. You don’t want them to brown.

To make the icing, combine all ingredients except the toppings for decoration, and mix by hand in a small bowl until smooth. You want the icing to be on the thick side yet spreadable; add additional water or powdered sugar until you achieve this. You could also water it down and just glaze the cookies, your call. Top with your choice of the suggested yellow toppings for decoration and enjoy!
