Lemon-glazed Butter cookies

These remind me of Christmas growing up.  They just melt in your mouth. 

Lemon-glazed Butter cookies

Yields: 3 dozen

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (room temp)
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup corn starch

Frosting

2 ½ cups powdered sugar sifted
½ cup (or 1 stick) butter melted
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice

350 degrees.

With electric mixer, beat butter & 1/3 cup powdered sugar at medium speed for 1 minute. Turn off. Sift together flour and corn starch and add to butter. Blend until dough is soft, about 1 minute. Drop by tsp full on ungreased baking sheet. Baking until VERY lightly brown (prettier white) about 5 minutes.

Transfer to racks to cool.

Meanwhile, make frosting. While still warm, pour frosting into center.
