Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- Zest of 2 lemons
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ cups (281g) all-purpose flour
- 3 cups (360g) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
- Stir in the salt.
- Gradually add the flour to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Dip each cooled cookie into the lemon glaze, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the glazed cookies back on the wire rack to allow the glaze to set.
