Bakery Style Thick Sugar Cookies with Lemon Glaze – Kneaders Recipe

03/17/14 | Desserts and Treats, Recipes

We like to eat at Kneaders, a lot! Kneaders is this cute little bakery with locations all over Utah, Idaho, Colorado and Arizona. They make the best breads, turkey sandwiches, french toast and sugar cookies (along with trillion other things). They also have tons of cute home decor for sale. My hubby LOVES the Kneaders Glazed Sugar Cookies, so I thought I’d search for a similar recipe so we could make them at home.

Kneaders Bakery Sugar Cookies Recipe with awesome Lemon Glaze! These are perfectly thick and fluffy Bakery Style Sugar Cookies and the glaze is perfect. From Tips From a Typical Mom.

This recipe IS Kneaders recipe. They shared it on a television show, so now I’m passing it on to you along with some good tips on making the sugar cookie making process a little easier on you. The glaze is perfect! The process I’ll show you is so easy to glaze them too. The glaze dried hard so you can stack them just like I did for pictures.

Kneaders Sugar Cookie Recipe with Lemon Glaze

INGREDIENTS:
Cookies
2 cups butter
2 ¼ cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup milk
7 ¾ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp lemon flavor
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp honey
1. Cream together butter and sugar until fluffy.
2. Add eggs, then milk.  Scrape the sides of the bowl often.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients.  Dough will be soft and sticky.
4. Place dough on well floured pastry cloth or workspace.
5. Knead in just enough flour to make dough workable.  Dough will be very soft.  It is best to knead with a rolling motion so you have a smooth surface and you will not get cracks on the tops of your cookies.
6. Gently roll out to 3/8 inch thick.
 

7. Cut into desired shapes and place on baking sheet lined with parchment.
8. Bake at 325 for 14  minutes or until just the edges barely start to change colors. Makes approx. 4 dozen. Let cool on a cooling rack until completely cooled.

Lemon Glaze
4 ½ cups powdered sugar
4 Tbsp corn syrup
3 Tbsp milk (I actually had to use about 1/4 cup)
¼ tsp lemon flavor (I would probably add 1/2 tsp next time for a more lemony flavor)
1. Mix together all ingredients until smooth. Dip cookie in icing and let drip for a moment.  
 
Flip over quickly and let sit on a cooling rack that has been placed over tin foil to catch drippings.

Let set until hard.  Decorate with icing, chocolate chips, candy, coconut etc. You can also color the glaze and then dip the cookies. It’s St. Patricks day today so we made green shamrocks.

    So describe the texture of these cookies. I’ve never even heard of Kneaders so I do not know anything about these delicious looking cookies.. I love to try new sugar cookie recipes so I’m anxious to give these a whirl. Do you think I need to use the lemon flavor to get the full effect? I have 3 kids and they all dislike lemon flavor….a LOT. But they LOVE vanilla so I was thinking I could substitute vanilla extract or paste.

      The texture . . . hmmm. I would describe the texture as a butter cookie, more dry than a regular sugar cookie. The glaze would be amazing as a vanilla one too!

    Can the dough be chilled for a few hours before rolling out?

      Kathryn, Yes it can be chilled for a few hours. You may just have to wait for it to warm up just a little so you can work with it.

    I made this dough tonight and divided it, placed it wrapped in the fridge until morning. Me and hubby are making all kinds of cookies for Christmas and this recipe intrigued me.
    I absolutely loved the “feel” of the dough, but didn’t find it difficult or sticky, but I used my Pro Series Kitchenaid and it really mixed it well.

    I’ll post tomorrow with my opinion on how they turned out, but I predict they’ll be fabulous, especially with a Royal icing and cute decorations!

    I am just starting to learn about baking. Do you use unsalted butter?

      You can use unsalted butter then make sure to add salt. If you use salted butter you can omit some salt in the recipe.
