Strawberry Lemonade Cookies

** Recipe from My Sweet Gems **

Cookies:
* 1/2 c. butter, softened
* 1 c. sugar
* 1 Tbl. grated lemon zest
* 1/2 tsp. baking powder
* 1/4 tsp. baking soda
* 1/4 tsp. salt
* 1 lg. egg
* 1/2 c. sour cream
* 1/3 c. lemon juice
* 2 c. flour

Strawberry Frosting:
* 2 1/2 c. powdered sugar
* 1 Tbl. melted butter
* 4 strawberries, mashed completely

Heat oven to 375. Line 2 - 3 baking sheets with parchment paper or use ungreased baking sheets. In a large mixing bowl beat the butter, sugar, lemon zest, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with an electric mixer on medium speed until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is well blended. Beat in the egg, sour cream and lemon juice until combined. Beat in the flour with the mixer or stir it in with a wooden spoon. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough about 3" apart onto prepared baking sheets. Bake one cookie sheet at a time in the center of the oven until the tops of the cookies are firm, 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Frosting: Blend ingredients in the mixer until well mixed. If needed, add a little milk to help it along. You can add strawberry flavoring to give it more of a flavor boost.
