lemon wreaths. January 9, 2011

the first round of baked goods that i made for christmas gifts was mainly from your typical 4000 recipes enclosed christmas cookie magazine.  { and } i have now learned that i need to stick to what i know works.  ina garten, martha stewart, gale gand, dave lebovitz, food { and } wine, foodnetwork.com, bon appétit { and } my fellow bloggers.  i saw these cookies on a few blog posts { and } saw the recipe when i bought martha’s annual christmas cookie magazine.  i love lemon.  these are unique in that you make lemon sugar for the cookie { and } use a simple lemon glaze for the topping.  they are a simple buttery cookie with a nice basic glaze.  i liked them a lot, the dough is not exactly friendly, but i got through it. 

for as much zest as is in these cookies, they are surprisingly subtle.

 

these are becoming some of my favorite pictures.

 

 

 

 

the recipe calls for the cookies to be dipped, but I found that using a squeeze bottle was way easier { and } less messy.
