Christmas Cookies Book & Recipe

My 3 year old and I enjoy this book very much.

There is a recipe at the end.

It looked easy.  So, I was impulsive, and we gave it a try over the weekend.  It was easy.  The cookies were simple, no fancy tastes, but good!

I wanted to try a glaze recipe that I had received a few years ago.
Lemon Sugar Cookie Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar
2 T. lemon juice
1 T. warm water (more if needed)

Mix together and spread over cookies while warm.
I let me daughter choose the colors: we had blue cookies with pink sprinkles.

I liked the glaze and would make it again for myself.  It was a bit tart, which I enjoy.  My daughter is eating the cookies without complaining.  But, my husband turned his nose up at it, because if it were up to him, a thick layer of cream cheese frosting would be the only frosting allowed in the universe.  (With this glaze, be ready for a non-traditional taste is all I'm saying.)

Enjoy!
