For the icing:
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt into medium bowl, then blend in butter with a stand-up mixer on medium speed.
- Combine milk and sugar in small saucepan, stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved, add vanilla extract; cool 5 -10 mins.
- Stir combined warm milk mixture and egg into flour mixture. Knead dough on floured surface until smooth.
- Form dough into teaspoon-sized round balls. Cut each dough ball in half, then roll each half into 5-inch ropes. Twist two ropes together, form into circles; press edges together. Place about 1 inch apart on oven trays. Bake about 15 mins. Cool on wire racks.
- While cookies are cooling, make the lemon icing.Sift powdered sugar into a heat proof bowl and stir in enough True Lemon waterto make a firm paste. Stir over small saucepan of simmering water until just pourable.
- When the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the lemon icing on the cookies. (Or drop the cookie upside down into the icing and remove it by lifting it out with a knife in the middle of the wreath.)
- Sprinkle with nonpareils. Let dry completely before serving.
