Servings: 72
Author Notes: Rich, crisp, and generously frosted, these cookies will flatter any holiday or special occasion.
Ingredients: Cookies:
10 tablespoons margarine, softened
2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
1 egg
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
ground cinnamon, as garnish

Sugar Frosting:
2 cups confectioner's sugar
1/2 teaspoon lemon or vanilla extract
2 to 3 tablespoons fat-free milk
Instructions: Preheat oven to 375°F.

Beat margarine, sour cream, egg, and lemon extract in medium bowl until smooth; mix in sugar. Mix in combined flour, baking powder, and salt. Refrigerate dough 4 to 6 hours.

Roll dough on floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut cookies into decorative shapes with 2-inch cookie cutters. Bake on greased or sprayed cookie sheets until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Make frosting by mixing confectioner's sugar, lemon or vanilla extract, and enough milk to make spreadable consistency.

Frost cooled cookies with frosting; sprinkle very lightly with cinnamon.

Diabetic Exchanges:
1/2 Starch
