Ingredients
Cookies
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 pound butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 1/2 cups cake flour
- 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Frosting
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/3 cup boiling water

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs, milk, vanilla and lemon extract and mix until smooth. In a medium bowl, combine flours, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to the wet in batches, stirring well. Drop soup spoonfuls of dough 2" apart on buttered baking sheets. Bake at 375* until edges begin to brown, 20-30 minutes.
- Let cool completely. Put confections' sugar in a bowl. Stir in enough water to make the mixture thick and spreadable. Remove half the frosting to the top of a double boiler over simmering water.

January 6, 2011 at 11:51 amWhen I made this recipe it tasted like flour and when baking it doesn’t thin out; therefore, it’s too puffy and biscuit-like…not good. Not the NY black and white.
