Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup salted butter (, at room temperature (1 1/2 sticks))
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 3 Tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1–3 teaspoon water
Instructions
- Step 1: Make cookie dough. Combine 3/4 cup butter and 3/4 cup sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the 2 egg yolks, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1-2 teaspoons lemon zest, 1 Tablespoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Then slowly mix in 2 cups flour. Mix just until combined.
- Step 2: Chill. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls. Then press down with a cup. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
- Step 4: Lemon glaze. To make the lemon icing for cookies, whisk together 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon zest and 3 Tablespoons lemon juice in a medium size bowl. Add a teaspoon of water at a time, until you reach a nice and smooth glaze. Then drizzle or spoon on top of the cookies. Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy!
