Ingredients

  1. 3 cups flour
  2. ½ teaspoon baking powder
  3. ¼ teaspoon salt
  4. 1 cup butter, softened

  6. 1 egg
  7. 2 teaspoons lemon extract (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with Reynolds® Parchment Paper, set aside.
  2. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy with an electric mixer. Mix in egg and lemon extract until well blended.

  4. Roll out the dough 1/8-inch thick between two sheets of lightly floured parchment paper.
  5. Cut dough with 2 to 6-inch snowflake cookie cutters. Place cookies 1-inch apart on parchment-lined cookie sheet. Decorate with colored sprinkles.
  6. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are just beginning to brown on edges. Cool.
  7. Mix powdered sugar and milk together in a small bowl, adding milk slowly until desired consistency is reached. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
  8. Reynolds Kitchens Tips:
  9. For extra lemon flavor, substitute lemon juice for milk when making the icing.
  10. For snowflakes that slide right off, line your cookie sheet with Reynolds(R) Parchment Paper.
