So to entice some of my sorority sisters to come to a sisterhood event I was planning this week, I decided to make these absolutely delicious lemon sugar cookies. Now, I don't like to toot my own horn, but these cookies turned out absolutely amazing. Usually when I make food, it turns out just okay. Probably not quite what it's supposed to taste like, but it's edible. Hence the title of this blog "My Almost Edible Year." I'm not going to lie, these cookies were a bitch and a half to make. Creaming the sugar, butter and crisco without a mixer was brutal, and making the dough was difficult with only a small metal spoon to work with. The frosting was also a battle, mixing in the powdered sugar into the butter and cream cheese. And how the butter had to be softened, but not melted. Everything was a chore. But man, did my hard work pay off! The cookies didn't really flatter or expand upon baking, so my first batch looked like tiny little mountains. After that I realized I needed to smoosh them down a little and make them circular to get the picturesque cookies. The cookies themselves were more on the dry and crumbly side, but in a good way. And they were perfectly complemented by the lemon cream cheese frosting, which tasted super lemony, but had that creamy and slightly tart flavor from the cream cheese. It was heaven. I would put that frosting on anything. It wasn't overly sweet either, so best believe I put that on my toast the next morning. I'm super sad that I forgot to take a picture of the result, but just imagine the most mouthwatering, flavorful, finger-licking, lip-smacking, melt-in-your-mouth cookies ever. They were that good.
