Prep time: 40 minutes
Cook time: 8 minutes
Serves 60 people
Ingredients
- •1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- •1/4 tsp baking soda
- •1/4 tsp kosher salt
- •1/3 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- •1/2 cup granulated sugar
- •1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- •1 tsp lemon zest
- •1 large egg
- •1/2 cup sour cream
- •2 cups confectioners’ sugar
- •2 Tbsp light corn syrup
- •3 Tbsp whole milk
- •3 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa
Directions
-
Heat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon zest in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg. Reduce the mixer speed to low and alternately add the flour mixture and sour cream, mixing just until incorporated.
-
Drop slightly rounded tsps of dough 2 in. apart onto prepared baking sheets and bake, rotating the position of the pans halfway through, until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, 6 to 8 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.
-
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, corn syrup and 2 Tbsp milk until smooth and spreadable. Transfer 1/3 cup glaze to a small bowl and stir in the cocoa and remaining 1 Tbsp milk until smooth. (Icing should be thick, but spreadable. If necessary, add an extra 1/2 to 1 tsp milk.)
-
Turn cookies flat-side up. Spread white icing over half of each cookie. Once the white icing has dried, spread chocolate icing over the other half. Let stand at room temperature until set.
