GRAM OPAL'S SUGAR COOKIES

Gram Opal's Sugar Cookies image

My grandma, Opal June Carlson (Gram C), made these cookies whenever my dad and I came to her cottage on Lake Okoboji for a visit. Although at the time I picked off the pecan halves that my 7-year-old self didn't yet appreciate, these simply delicious cookies were amazing and will live forever in my heart along with my Gram C!

Time 20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon lemon extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup butter, melted
1 tablespoon hot water, or as needed
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
24 whole pecans

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 baking sheets.
Sift flour, baking soda, and 1/8 teaspoon salt together in a bowl.
Beat 1 cup butter, white sugar, and egg in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add flour mixture, vanilla extract, and lemon extract to butter mixture; stir until dough is well blended. Roll cookie dough into walnut-size balls and place 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Press each ball down with the bottom of a glass to flatten slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven until baked through, 6 to 7 minutes. Cool.
Stir confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, hot water, and vanilla together in a bowl until sugar is completely dissolved and icing is smooth. Spread icing on cooled cookies and top each cookie with a pecan.
