Cookie
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
12 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, softened
14 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons baking powder
12 teaspoon baking soda
12 teaspoon vanilla
14 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Drizzle
12 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon shortening
STEP 1
Combine 1 cup flour and all remaining cookie ingredients in bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed. Stir in remaining 1 cup flour.
STEP 2
Divide dough in half. Shape each into a ball; flatten slightly. Wrap each in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
STEP 3
Heat oven to 350°F.
STEP 4
Roll out dough on well floured surface, one-half at a time (keeping remaining dough refrigerated), to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2 to 3-inch star cookie cutters into desired shapes. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets; sprinkle with decorator sugars. Bake 8-12 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool completely. Place onto waxed paper. Repeat with remaining dough.
STEP 5
Melt chocolate chips and shortening in saucepan, over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted. Drizzle over cookies.
