LITTLE LEMON DROPS
These cookies look so beautiful and delicious in the recent issue of Woman's Day. I had to save the recipe here. The sugared cranberries are optional but are a nice touch. The sugared cranberries do take a lot of time, however. You can make those ahead because they have to be refrigerated 8 hours and then must stand 2 hours after being rolled in sugar. The prep time for the sugared cranberries is not included.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees F. You'll need mini-muffin pans coated with nonstick cooking spray.
- For lemon drops: Beat all lemon drop ingredients in large bowl with mixer on medium speed several minutes until blended and smooth.
- Transfer the batter into two 1-gallon ziptop bags.
- Seal bags; cut tip off one corner of each bag and pipe batter into prepared muffin cups, filling cups slightly less than 2/3 full.
- Bake 12 minutes, or until a pick inserted in centers comes out clean.
- Remove pans to wire rack and cool 2 minutes; invert muffins onto rack (leave muffins inverted) and cool completely.
- Continue baking batches until all the batter is used up (you'll have about 100 muffins).
- For Lemon Glaze: Place a wire rack over wax paper.
- Beat ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Dip muffins in glaze to coat rounded tops and sides, letting excess glaze drip back into bowl.
- Place on rack until glaze is set.
- For sugared cranberries: In small saucepan over medium heat, bring 2 cups granulated sugar and 1 1/2 cups cranberry juice cocktail or water just to a simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Remove from heat; stir in 2 cups cranberries.
- Cover; refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
- Drain well.
- Toss berries in superfine or regular granulated sugar until coated all over.
- Let stand on wax paper 2 hours or until dry.
- To serve: Place each lemon drop in a decorated mini-muffin liner.
- Top with sugared cranberry, if desired.
- Storage tip: Store in airtight containers with wax paper between layers at cool room temperature or in refrigerator up to 1 week, or freeze unglazed up to 3 months.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325. Coat mini muffin tins with cooking spray. (I used almost 3 full pans of 24). Beat the ingredients in a large bowl with an electric mixer for several minutes until blended and smooth. Fill each muffin hole about 1/2 full. I used a small cookie scoop and it worked perfectly! Bake for about 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the pan on a wire rack for about 2 minutes and then turn the muffin pan over on a wire rack so that all the muffins are upside down. Cool completely and once all the batter is cooked, you can make the glaze. Lemon Glaze: Place the wire racks over waxed paper. Beat the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl until smooth. Dip muffins in glaze to coat the bottoms (which are now the tops!) and the sides and let the excess drip off back into the bowl. Place each lemon drop back on the wire racks until the glaze is set. Make sure to eat a few before placing them out for others or you'll never get to try one! Enjoy!
