I had all day, Wednesday, to rest and relax. Although, me being me...I just can't sit still and do nothing. I have to keep myself busy some way some how. My solution was to bake something. I remember in the sixth grade my teacher had made some sugar cookies for our class. I pestered...no I kindly asked her for the recipe, which she eventually gave to me after a while.
I changed it up a bit. Doubled on the vanilla extract and used cake flour instead of all purpose. The cookies had a nice consistency of almost cake-like. It was pretty neat. I paired it with a spread of a lemon-pomegranate icing.
Makes close to 3 dozen cookies. I can't really say how much as I munched on them while I was still making them. No one can resist the power of a cookie!
Sugar Cookie with Lemon Pom Frosting
Cookie:
1 c unsalted butter
1 1/s c granulated sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
2 Tbsp milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 c cake flour
Preheat you oven to 375˚F
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt. Set aside.
Cream together butter and sugar. Beat in the egg then add in the vanilla extract and milk.
Mix in the flour mixture and combine well.
Scoop out a teaspoon worth onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Bake for 5-10 min or the until the edges had slightly browned. Let them cool completely before spreading the icing.
Lemon-Pomegrante icing:
4 Tbsp cream cheese
6 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
zest of 1 lemon (optional)
2 Tbsp Pomegranate Juice
Combine all ingredients together.
Spread a nice layer over the cookie.

Just great, now I need a cookie break! And, sugar cookies are my favorites.
Great use of the Pom juice-does it add a distinct pommy flavour to the frosting or does the lemon overpower it?
So bummed my pom juice is past the expiration date. These look amazing!
Looks so delightful! Love the combo of flavors.
Lisa: See no can resist the power of a cookie.
Sweta: No the lemon and pom don't over power it at all. It give a subtle tag, which I like.
Diana: Bummer.
Diana Bauman: thanks.
Yeah!!! I just got some POM and needed to find a recipe to use it with...no need to look any further. These are my kind of cookies.
As you are the cook, you are allowed to munch on as many of the cookies (or as much of the cookie dough, for that matter) as you like. Them's the rules!
These looks so delcious! Love the cream cheese frosting!
Great looking cookies. I have finally gotten onto your site. Internet explorer would not let me get on. I had problems with other sites too so I downloaded Firefox. I noticed other bloggers also downloaded Firefox and it seems to work really well!!!!
Well said! I'm fallen by the power of the cookie already! Looks so yum n delicious. That is a delicious topping with POM sauce!
I love what you did with the icing, great idea. these look wonderful!

Yet another pomegranate recipe! These look super delicious! And I can't get over that icing!
Yum! I expected the icing to be darker or pinkish with the pom juice but it's a nice buttery lemon color! I made some cookies too but mine were from a packaged mix :)
Kamran: Thanks!!
Phyllis: it turns into a nice smooth cream color. There is a slight hint of red, but not much.
