Yield

Serves 32 (serving size: 1 cookie)

COOKIES:

  • 2 cups of Whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 10 tablespoons of butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1-ounce of 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

ICING:

  • 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon of grated lemon rind
  • Naturally colored sparkling sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. To prepare cookies, weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg; beat until well blended. Add vanilla; beat until blended. Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture; beat just until combined.
  2. Flatten dough into a 6-inch disk; wrap with plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  4. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 32 cookies, using a 2- or 3-inch cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary. Place cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake 12 minutes or until lightly browned around edges. Cool.
  5. To prepare icing, whisk together powdered sugar, yogurt, and rind; drizzle over cookies. Sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if desired. Let stand on a wire rack until icing is set, about 15 minutes.
