Free Meal at Joe's BBQ 5/4

5/4 is Customer Appreciation Day at Joe's BBQ. Wednesday, May 4 they’ll be serving free food 11a-3p and again from 4p-8p. During that time, the BBQ will also serve as a collection point for new and gently used books of any kind for Loving Through Literacy. My tip: it's not worth getting there early 'cause you will just stand in a line that is not moving ;-) For more info follow Joe's on Facebook.

Lemon Slice Cookies. Another Spring-y recipe I thought looked yummy.

  

Lemon Slices

Ingredients
1/2  cup  butter, softened
1/2  cup  granulated sugar
1/4  cup  powdered lemonade mix
1    egg
8  drops  red food coloring
1-3/4  cups  all-purpose flour
Pinch of  salt
1/4  cup  pink decorating sugar
1  Tbs.  light corn syrup
1-1/2  cups  powdered sugar
2  to 3 Tbs.  fresh lemon juice
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine butter, granulated sugar, and lemonade mix. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and food coloring; beat well. Gradually add flour and salt; beat until dough begins to cling.
2. Gather dough into a ball and shape into a 7x2 1/2-inch log. Wrap in waxed paper. Chill 3 hours so it's firm enough to slice.
3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Place decorating sugar in a shallow bowl. Remove waxed paper from dough. Brush outside of the dough log with corn syrup. Cut log crosswise into 1/8-inch thick slices. Lightly roll edges of the slices in the pink sugar. Place on cookie sheets about 1 inch apart. Cut some cookies in half, if desired. Score the top of cookies with the back of a small knife to make them resemble citrus segments.
4. Bake about 8 minutes, or until edges are just firm. Let cool on a wire rack.
5. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice; place in a resealable plastic bag. Snip a small hole in one corner of the bag. Pipe icing onto scored lines and add dots. Let stand until icing is set.
