Ingredients
- 3 cup(s) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1 3/4 stick(s) butter
- 1 1/4 cup(s) sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 3/4 cup(s) buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon(s) freshly grated lemon zest
- 4 cup(s) confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup(s) milk
- 3 tablespoon(s) heavy cream
- 2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- Red no-taste gel food coloring
Directions
- To make cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Scrape down the bowl and add eggs and egg yolk one at a time, beating briefly after each addition. Scrape down the bowl again, and turn mixer to low. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the buttermilk in 2 parts. Scrape down the bowl; add vanilla and lemon zest, and mix on low speed for a few more seconds.
- Using an ice cream scoop (about 1/4 cup), drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets spaced about 3 inches apart (6 cookies per sheet).
- Bake for 17 minutes, rotating sheets between oven racks halfway through, until edges are golden brown and tops spring back when gently touched. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes, then remove cookies and cool on racks.
- To make frosting: In a large bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk, and cream. If mixture is too thick, add a little more milk (by the teaspoon until desired consistency is reached). Pour half of the frosting (about 3/4 cup) into another bowl and add vanilla and red food coloring until desired red color is reached.
- Use an offset spatula to spread red frosting on half of the top of each cookie. Let stand until almost set, 20 minutes. Using a clean spatula, spread white frosting over unfrosted half of each cookie. (If the frosting thickens up during the process, whisk until loose.) Let set completely, about 1 hour.
ok.
