Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1 tbsp fat-free milk
1 tsp grated lemon rind
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup toasted wheat germ
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tbsp fat-free milk
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
remaining ingredients
food coloring (optional)
assorted sugar sprinkles (optional)

Directions:

To prepare cookies, beat granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 4 minutes). Add egg, egg white, and next 3 ingredients, beating well. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a bowl. Add flour mixture to sugar mixture, stirring well. Spoon dough onto plastic wrap; flatten to a 1 1/2-inch thickness. Cover tightly with plastic wrap; chill 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°.
Roll dough to a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on a heavily floured surface. Cut dough into 20 (3-inch) squares using a sharp knife. Place squares 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 8 minutes or until golden. Immediately remove cookies from pans using a wide spatula; cool on wire racks.
To prepare frosting, combine powdered sugar and next 3 ingredients. Stir in food coloring, if desired. Spread about 2 teaspoons frosting over each cookie with an offset spatula, or place frosting in a small zip-top plastic bag, snip a tiny hole in 1 corner, and drizzle frosting over cookies. Sprinkle with assorted sugar sprinkles, if desired.
