Lemon Glazed Christmas Cookies

When you think of glazed lemon cookies, you don’t exactly think of Christmas cookies, do ya?

Well, ’round here chocolate cookies aren’t welcomed by 50% of the household and the other 50% of the household (read: me) is not a huge sugar cookie fan. SOOOO, what to make for my Cookie Exchange at work (because 100% of the household needs to participate in a taste-test)??

99% of the reason I decided to make these glazed lemon cookies is because I could finally use my edible star glitter. I think the stars make them look so much more Christmas-y and festive!

As depicted by one of the pictures below, it’ll be obvious that I didn’t follow the recipe to a “t” as far as the order of ingredients go. I was brought back to 6th grade and I was in the cafeteria for my 6th grade Science Fair…. I mixed the lemon juice with the baking soda and I thought there was some lava in my mixing bowl :)

{gettin’ glazed.. I practically licked the bowl clean, the glaze was so good}

{gettin’ glittered}

{all ready!}

These were very simple to make and very zesty! I finally think my cookies look something like Martha Stewart’s actual lemon glazed cookies ;)
