((Intro

In an attempt to organize all my recipes and share them with fellow cooks and bakers, I've started a blog. Initially my recipes were a collection from friends, family, cookbooks, magazines and yes, even newspapers! Now many of my recently acquired recipes are adapted from blogs and cooking show websites.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope that along the way you enjoy a few of my recipes and make them some of your favorites too!

Count the memories, not the calories!

Glazed Lemon Sour Cream Cookies


3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1½ cups sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tbsp lemon zest
½ tsp vanilla extract

Glaze:
2½ tsp cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened well
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until slightly fluffy. Blend in the eggs one a a time. Mix in sour cream, lemon zest and vanilla. Add flour mixture until combined.

Cover bowl and chill dough in refrigerator until dough is more firm and easier to work with, about 1 hour (it will still be fairly sticky).

Preheat oven to 375 degrees during last 10 minutes of dough chilling. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Drop dough by the rounded tablespoon on to prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake both sheets in preheated oven, switching and rotating them halfway through baking, until bottom edges are golden and cookies are set - about 14-15 minutes.

Cool on baking sheet several minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

For the glaze, in a mixing bowl blend together cream cheese and lemon juice. Mix in powdered sugar stirring until smooth.

Set a baking sheet underneath cookies on rack, then spoon glaze over cooled cookies  and let glaze set at t room temperature. Store cookies in an airtight container.
