Directions:Preheat oven to 375º
Beat the butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy. Add lemon juice, beat again. Add salt and lemon zest and beat until combined. Add flour and beat for 2 minutes more.
Roll out about 1/4" thick. Cut with a round cookie cutter. Use a spatula to move the cutouts from your counter to a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet, leaving 1-1/2" between cookies. Bake for 6 minutes (7 minutes if you've rolled them out a little thickly) and remove from the oven. (They will not brown so just take them out at the buzzer.)
Leave on the pan for 1 minute.
Whisk glaze ingredients together. Gently spoon about 1/2 tsp glaze over each cookie while it is still warm. |
