An alternate method, of decorating this cookie, is below.
About the Recipe: This recipe is a cross between a cake and a cookie. It is flavored with lemon, or you could use orange if desired. Spread a glossy smooth frosting over the top of each cookie and then decorate it with decorative colored sugar or gel. The cookies are very sweet and festive looking. They are perfect for celebrating those special holidays.
Cook’s Note: If your frosting is too thick, add a teaspoon or two of corn syrup or heavy cream. You could use this basic recipe to celebrate other holidays during the year.
- To frost the cookies with red, white, and blue stripes.: For each cookie – spread frosting smoothly over the entire top of cookie. Cover 2/3 of the cookie, leaving 1/3 exposed; sprinkle blue sugar over the 1/3 section. Then cover the cookie, leaving 1/3 on the other side exposed; sprinkle it generously with red sugar. You should have a cookie with three stripes, red, white, and blue.
- Frost the remaining cookies using the same procedure. Set cookies aside to become firm, about 1 hour.
- Yield: about 24 cookies.
