Lemon-Iced Sugar Cookies

Lemon-Iced Sugar Cookies

These are Bo's all time FAVORITE cookies. They are amazing. Go ahead, give 'em a try!

2 cups flour
 1 tsp baking powder
 1/2 tsp salt
 1/4 tsp baking soda

 1/2 cup butter, softened
 1 1/2 cups sugar
 1 egg
 1 tsp vanilla
 1/4 cup sour cream

 Whisk together dry ingredients and set aside. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, beating well to combine. With mixer on low, add half flour mixture, followed by sour cream, then remaining flour mixture. Mix just until combined. Scoop onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees until cookies are set but not browned, about 12 minutes. Cool and frost.

 Icing:
 3 tablespoons butter, melted
 2 tablespoons milk
 2 tablespoons lemon juice
 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
 3 cups powdered sugar
 3-4 drops yellow food coloring

 Whisk together ingredients until smooth. Spread each cookie with a thin layer of icing. Cookies are prettiest if icing is kept slightly warm while you frost (heat for a few seconds in the microwave). Let icing set before serving or packaging.
