We love our gingerbread cookies around here. Poor, neglected gingerbread....it only gets trotted out in December, but it's so, so good.
How about a summery spin on gingerbread? It's completely EASY and you won't have to wait for December for your gingerbread fix.
Lemon Cream Gingerbread Cookies
You Will Need:
- your favorite gingerbread cookies
- royal icing flavored with lemon extract
- marshmallow creme
- lemon curd
Make the cookies and let cool.
Mix up some royal icing, flavor with 1/4 teaspoon pure lemon extract and tint with AmeriColor Bright White
(if desired).Top half of the cookies with royal icing. Add yellow sprinkles if you have 'em.
{Or do like I did and spend 30 minutes picking through jars of multi-colored sprinkles for the yellows. THAT would be a good project for your kids when you hear the dreaded "I'm Bored" this summer.}
Stir together 1/2 cup lemon curd (jarred or homemade) with 1/3 cup marshmallow creme. Adjust the amounts based on how lemon-y you like it.
Then...
Plop some filling on the plain cookies and sandwich together.
Don't want to make the filling? Skip it! Top the cookies with a squiggle of lemon royal icing and a bit of yellow sanding sugar. Voila! Gingerbread cookies for summer!
