What You'll Need:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Pinch of salt

GLAZE

  • 1 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 3 drops yellow food color

What To Do:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.  

  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, oil, milk, salt,  lemon extract, and the egg. Roll dough into 1/2-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheets.  

  3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until cookies are set but not brown. Let sit 5 minutes then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.  

  4. In a medium bowl, combine glaze ingredients and stir until smooth.  

  5. Dip tops of cookies in glaze and place on wire rack.

Notes:

  • Use assorted sprinkles and decorating sugar to decorate your cookies. Just be sure to do it quickly, before the glaze hardens!

  • If you want to decorate your cookies with multiple colors, separate glaze into smaller bowls and mix in food colors one drop at a time, until desired colors are reached.
