Summer is winding down and as a last attempt to keep the summer spirit alive we made some fun lemon flavored sugar cookies in ice cream shapes. I fell in love with these new cookie cutters from Wilton (well, they were new for the summer). As much as I loved them, I couldn't justify buying them until I spotted them on clearance as A. C. Moore was transition to their fall items. Yay!
This time we added a teaspoon of lemon extract to the dough AND the icing. We wanted a bold lemony taste! Just add less if you are looking for a subtitle lemon taste (or just add it only to either the icing or dough). We didn't get too creative with the design sticking to the suggestion on the cookie cutter package. We just wanted to see if we could pull it off.
