Lemon Icebox Cookies 🍋🧊📦 the beloved lemony fresh cake you may associate with your mother and/or grandmothers! However, these cookies are perfect to take on the go! Already planning your dessert for Easter. Got a wedding/baby shower soon? Need a mid week pick up? These would be a great make ahead choice! They get better and better in the fridge! 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons baking powder
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour about
1 3/4 cups finely ground graham cracker crumbs 
Pinch of salt 
1/2 cup butter room temperature
1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream 
zest of 3 lemons
1/4 cup lemon juice 
FROSTING:
1/4 cup butter @ room temp
1/4 cup cream cheese @ room temp
2 1/2 - 3 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs lemon juice 
Zest of 1 lemon
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. 
In a large bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, graham cracker crumbs, and salt. Set aside. 
In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla, sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice and mix until fully incorporated .
Slowly add in the flour mixture. Stop to scrape the bowl as needed. 
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop large round balls onto your prepared cookie sheets. Make sure to leave at least 2 inches in between each cookie. Bake for 10-11 minutes or until springy to the touch. 
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. 
While the cookies cool you may begin working on the frosting. Add the butter, cream cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the bowl of your electric mixer. Cream together until well combined. Slowly add in the powdered sugar until you reach your desired consistency/sweetness. Evenly spread a layer of the frosting over each cookie. I like my cookies in the fridge best! Enjoy! #lemoncookies #cookiesofinstagram #bakersofinstagram #bakersgonnabake
