Ingredients

1 tube (16-1/2 ounces) refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
GLAZE:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
Food coloring of your choice

Directions

Let cookie dough stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften. In a large bowl, beat the cookie dough, flour and extract until combined.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with floured 2-in. ornament-shaped cookie cutters. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350° for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
Combine the confectioners' sugar, milk and extract. Spread over cookies. Immediately place a drop of food coloring on top of each cookie and swirl with a toothpick. Let stand until set. Yield: 2 dozen.
