Easy Glazed Lemon Cookies
You know what I love the most about summertime? Every dessert I make is fruity and fun! Really, there’s no better time to enjoy something like a sweet lemon cookie than in the warm spring and summer months. While most lemon cookie recipes call for lemon extract and artificial flavors, these cookies are flavored the all natural way with freshly squeezed lemon juice and grated zest. Trust me – you’ll notice a delicious difference between these freshly flavored cookies and the artificial stuff! Even the sweet drizzle of glaze on these cookies is made with freshly squeezed lemon juice. You’re going to love how zesty and mouthwatering these cookies are! Of course, I love these in the Spring too. They make a delicious Easter cookie idea!
How to Make Lemon Cookies
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the egg yolks, vanilla, lemon juice and zest to the cream mixture. Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Chill the batter. Roll the dough into balls and place on a baking sheet. Bake the cookies. Cool. Create the glaze by combining the sugar with lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze evenly over each cookie.
