• When you remove the baked cookies from the oven, immediately remove the cookies onto a wire baking rack to cool.
• Allow the cookies to cool completely.
• Prepare the frosting:
• Melt sugar and butter in a medium sauce pan over low heat, stir until sugar is dissolved.
• Remove from heat, add the Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon (be careful, this will spit and pop).
• Quickly add the lemon extract and confectioners sugar, stir until smooth.
• Cool frosting slightly, and frost cookies (leave the frosting in the pot).
• Garnish frosted cookie immediately with half a maraschino cherry.
• Allow the frosted cookie to set on a wire rack until frosting is dry.
• Note: if frosting in the pot hardens too much to spread, return to stove under low heat for a few seconds, stirring until frosting is again spreading consistency
