Frosted Sugar Cookies with Citrus Frosting
What it is
These are sweet, crumbly sugar cookies topped with a bright, tangy frosting. The frosting is flavored with both lemon and orange, offering a zesty counterpoint to the cookie's sweetness. Each cookie is individually decorated, making them visually appealing. They are a classic treat, often enjoyed as a simple dessert or a sweet snack. The texture of the cookie is typically firm yet yielding, designed to hold its shape while being easy to bite into. The frosting adds a smooth, slightly chewy layer.
