Ingredients
Directions
- Using electric mixer with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, milk, vanilla and lemon zest.
- In separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch and salt; fold into butter mixture to form soft dough.
- Scoop dough, 2 tbsp (30 mL) at a time, into balls. Place on parchment paper–lined baking sheets, about 2 inches (5 cm) apart and flatten slightly.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake cookies for 15 to 18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven; let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to rack; let cool completely.
- Cream Cheese Frosting: Meanwhile, beat butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add icing sugar and vanilla; beat until creamy.
- Spread Cream Cheese Frosting evenly over cookies; dip in sugar. Using kitchen torch, lightly torch tops of cookies until sugar is caramelized. Let stand for 2 minutes or until hardened.
Tips
To make ahead, prepare cookie dough and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Cookie dough can also be scooped into balls and frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding an additional minute of baking time.
