Day LXXVI: 12 +2 steps to making cookies that I made from scratch

We made these from scratch and they are not half bad. They are lemon-maple cookies

Cookie
1.) Melt 2 sticks of butter (we used 1 stick butter and 2/3rds stick of margerine because that's all we had
2.) While it's melting blend one cup sugar with 1/4 cup maple syrup
3.) Add sugar to butter mixture
4.) add 1tsp vanilla (from mexico or south america if possible)
5.) add a pinch of salt
6.) add 2 eggs
7.) add 1 tsp of baking powder
7.) add 4 half cups of flour. Do not reduce!
8.) add another 1/3 cup of maple syrup.
9.) add 1 drop of every food dye you own.
10.) Bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes or until your liking
11.) frost and eat
12.) Post positive comments on my blog for these awesome cookies

Icing
1.) Mix powdered sugar (we made ours in our magic bullet) with lemon juice
2.) Make it the right consistency. it should be spreadable but not runny
