Ingredients

1-1/2 cups flour
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Lemon Flavor Instant Pudding
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
2 Tbsp. COUNTRY TIME Lemonade Flavor Drink Mix
2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup colored sugar

Steps:

Combine flour, dry pudding mix and salt. Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing well after each addition.
Refrigerate 30 min.
Heat oven to 325°F. Place dough on lightly floured surface; roll out to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 26 rounds using 3-inch cookie cutter, then cut out center of each round with 1-inch round cutter, re-rolling scraps as necessary.
Place cutouts, 1/2 inch apart, on parchment-covered baking sheets.
Bake 13 to 16 min. or until edges of cookies are lightly browned. Cool 3 min. Remove cookies to wire racks; cool completely.
Add milk to drink mix in medium bowl; stir until mix is dissolved. Add corn syrup and powdered sugar; beat with mixer until blended. Spread onto cookies; sprinkle with colored sugar. Let stand 15 min. or until frosting is firm.
