Ingredients

• 1 stick of butter, room temperature
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• Juice of 1 lemon, freshly squeezed
• Zest of 2 lemons, freshly grated

Lemon Glaze

• 2 ½ cups of powdered sugar
• Juice of 1 lemon, freshly squeezed

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 DEGREES.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and creamy. Add vanilla and 2 eggs and beat again until combined.
3. Sift in flour, baking soda, and salt. Add lemon juice and zest. Beat briefly until soft cookie dough forms.
4. For best results, refrigerate dough for 1 hour. Then, scoop cookie dough in with a 1.5 tbsp medium scooper onto a cookie sheet. This dough yields approximately 22 cookies.
5. Bake for 15 minutes. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. To make the lemon glaze, scoop 2 ½ cups of powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until incorporated. The glaze should be smooth, but thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle glaze over cookies. Leave for 10-15 minutes to set.
