Grapefruit Tea Cookies Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Grapefruit Tea Cookies Recipe). My mother originally made these in her culinary arts class in high school in 1975 and they were made with lemon. I love the lemon but I wanted to make these and realized I didn't have any lemons so I used what I did have, grapefruit. They turned out wonderful! I bet they would be good made with oranges too. The glaze is different from your regular iced cookie with the granulated sugar giving a nice texture on top. Yummy!
