Glaze
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 4-5 teaspoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  2. In a mixer, beat sugar, butter, eggs, milk and lemon extract until blended. On low speed, add the flour, baking powder and salt until just blended.
  3. Using a small cookie scoop, place scoops of cookie dough 2" apart on the baking sheet. Then go back and roll the scoops of dough in your hands to create a ball.
  4. Bake 8-10 minutes or until bottoms are light golden. Remove cookies to a wire rack and cool.
Glaze
  1. Whisk confectioners' sugar in a small bowl until there are no lumps. Add the milk and lemon extract in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. Top each cookie with glaze by dipping, and then sprinkle with nonpareils. Let dry completely.
