These soft lemon cookies are topped off with a simple and sweet lemon glaze. These are a favorite every spring. All that bright citrus flavor tastes so bright and fresh, like a sunny day.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the butter and powdered sugar to a mixing bowl and beat until smooth using a mixer.
Add the flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt to the bowl and mix until well combined.
Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out balls of cookie dough. Place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly flatten the cookies with your hands.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are just golden brown around the edges.
Cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the glaze
Add all of the ingredients for the glaze to a small mixing bowl and whisk well until smooth.
Spoon the glaze evenly over the cooled cookies.
Let set for 15 minutes or until the glaze has firmed up.
