Girl Scout Cookie Series: Take #8 Lemonades

A favorite lemon-flavored take on the shortbread cookie.  Light, crispy, and so simple to make, you won’t believe how lovely these little cookies are to make. To finish out our Girl Scout cookie series, ABMS brings you... Lemonades.


Lemonades
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
zest of 1 lemon

In a stand mixer, cream the butter, then slowly add the remaining ingredients until mixture sticks together when pressed into a ball.  Roll the dough until 1/4″ thick.  Cut out with a small cookie cutter.  Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 11-14 minutes, or just until the cookies have set.  Serve with a sprinkling of lemon zest and sparkling sugar, if desired.  Enjoy!
