Frosted Lemon Butter Cookies- Melt Aways (Grandma Iones)

Cookie:
1 cup butter-2 cubes
1/2 cup powder sugar
2/3 cup cornstarch
1 cup flour

Sift sugar cornstarch and flour all separately to get lumps out. I use my mix master and cream butter and sugar together. Then add cornstarch and flour. Drop by teaspoonful on a cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 13 min. Watch closely not go get to dark. At your altitude it might be less than 13 min.
Let cookie cool on cookie sheet . Sometimes the bottom comes off the cookies so I have found to let cookies cool on cookie sheet and then remove them and I don't have this problem

Frosting:
1/4 cup or 1 cube butter melted
4 1/2 T lemon juice
1/4 tsp lemon extract if you have any
2 1/2 -3 cups powder sugar or whatever it takes to make the frosting east to spread on the cookie

Combine frosting ingred. spread on cooled cookies.

Yields about 2 1/2 dozen cookies
