Cream Cheese Meltaways With Lemon Glaze (From Cooking Light) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Cookies
    1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup cornstarch
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1 cup powdered sugar
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1/4 cup block-style reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    Glaze
    1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    2. To prepare cookies, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl, stirring well with a whisk.
    3. Combine 1 cup powdered sugar, butter, cheese, and vanilla in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Add flour mixture; stir until just combined (dough will be dry and crumbly). Shape dough into 36 (1 inch) balls. Place balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes or until bottoms of cookies are lightly browned. Cool 5 minutes on pans on wire racks. Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
    4. To prepare glaze combine 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar and lemon juice, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Dip tops of cookies in glaze; place on wire racks. Let cookies stand for 30 minutes or until glze is set.
