LEMON TEACAKES

Cookie Ingredients:
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened*
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon peel
1 to 2 drops yellow food color, if desired

Glaze Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 small drop yellow food color, if desired
3 to 4 tablespoons milk

Garnish Ingredients:
Candied violets or tiny frosting flowers**

Instructions:

Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all cookie ingredients except flour, lemon peel and food color in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy. Stir in flour by hand until well mixed.

Place 3/4 cup dough in small bowl. Stir in lemon peel and 1 to 2 drops food color, if desired, by hand. Shape lemon flavored dough into 36 (1/2-inch) balls.

Divide remaining dough into 36 pieces. Place 1 lemon dough ball in center of each piece of plain dough. Shape into 1-inch balls, making sure lemon dough is covered. Place 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely.

Combine powdered sugar, 1 drop food color, if desired and enough milk for desired glazing consistency in medium bowl. Dip top of each cookie into glaze. Place on wire cooling rack over waxed paper to let excess glaze drip off. Garnish with candied violets before glaze sets.

*Substitute LAND O LAKES® Soft Baking Butter with Canola Oil right from the refrigerator.

**Candied violets can be found in gourmet or specialty food shops. They should be stored in a cool, dry place in airtight containers.

"Who are you asking to hold the scissors, Bob?"

Whoever is serving the coffee. If it has been in the pot a real long time, it gets kinda syrupy...

I was telling folks we saw the Shrek 2 movie last night. The character of Puss n Boots, as voiced by Antonio Banderas, was delightful.

You might be able to get your kitty fix by seeing the movie.
