Ingredients

    4 oz cream cheese (I used low fat since that's what we had), softened
    1/4 cup icing sugar
    Zest of 1 lemon
    2 tsp lemon extract
    1 tbsp milk
    ¼ tsp citric acid
    1 cup gluten free oat flour (or regular AP flour)
    pinch salt
    ½ cup coarsely crushed sour lemon hard candy (I whacked them with a meat mallet)
    Extra icing sugar, for dusting

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest,lemon extract and citric acid until fluffy.
Add flour and salt, mixing well.
Fold in the crushed candy.
Roll into 1” balls.
Roll each ball in icing sugar and place 1” apart on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake 5-7 minutes (cookies should not be brown).
Remove immediately to a cooling rack.
