EASY LEMON COOKIES
Ingredients
Cookie:
8 oz butter, softened
½ cup icing sugar
1¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup cornflour
1 tbsp lemon zest
1 tsp vanilla essence
Glaze:
3/4 cup icing Sugar
1 – 1½ tbsp lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat together the butter and icing sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the flour, cornflour, lemon zest, and vanilla and mix well.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop a bit of the dough and roll into a ball. Place on the baking sheet and lightly press down to flatten. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 – 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Allow the cookies to rest for 2 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the icing, whisk together the icing sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. If the mixture is too thick, add more lemon juice. If it’s too thin, add powdered sugar to thicken.
- Drizzle with the icing and let set. Serve.
