Lemon Cookies With Lovely Lemon Glaze Food

EASY LEMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and creamy. Add vanilla and egg and beat again until combined.
• Sift in flour, baking soda and salt. Add lemon juice and zest. Beat briefly until soft cookie dough forms.
• Roll cookie dough into 16 balls, approximately 1.5 tablespoons of dough each, and bake for approximately 12 minutes or until golden on the edges. Carefully transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the lemon glaze, sift the icing sugar into a mixing bowl. Add lemon juice, one tablespoon at a time, and mix together with a fork. Keep adding a tablespoon of lemon juice until you reach your desired consistency. You want the glaze to be smooth, but thin enough to drizzle.
• Drizzle glaze over cookies. Leave for 10-15 minutes to set.

GLAZED LEMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, vanilla, and lemon juice and beat until combined. With mixer on low, beat in flour mixture.
• Drop dough by heaping tablespoons, 1 inch apart, onto two baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool 2 minutes on sheets, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Spread cookies with Lemon Glaze and let set, about 1 hour.

LEMON COOKIES WITH GLAZE

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Cream sugar and butter together with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and beat in sour cream and lemon zest. Add flour mixture and mix until combined.
• Refrigerate dough until slightly firm, about 1 hour.
• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
• Bake until just golden around the edges, about 15 minutes, switching and rotating sheets halfway through baking time (one sheet of cookies took about 12 minutes, the other sheet ended up taking 16 minutes). Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• While cookies cool, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and lemon zest for glaze together and lightly drizzle cookies when they are almost completely cooled.
