Lemon Spritz Squares - sugar cookie

Method

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the sugar cookie mix and cream cheese until well blended and smooth.
• Add the flour in 3 parts.
• Add eggs and lemon extract and mix until just incorporated.
• Fold in lemon zest.
• On a lightly floured surface roll out dough to a 12 x 14 inch rectangle.
• Using a fluted pastry cutter(if you have one), I use a butter knife, cut dough into 2 inch squares.
• Place squares 1 inch apart on a ungreased cookie sheet(I lightly spray cooking spray).
• Put in freezer for 10 minutes.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes until bottoms are golden brown and tops are set.
• Cool on wire racks.
• Dust with powdered sugar.
