Zubereitung von Melt In Your Mouth Lemon Drop Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup powdered sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 2 tablespoons lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Roll dough into 3/4-inch balls. Place them about 1 1/2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet and gently flatten each ball with a fork.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Carefully remove cookies from the baking sheet and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the icing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest until smooth. Add more lemon juice for a thinner consistency or powdered sugar to thicken.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, dip the tops into the icing and place them back on the parchment paper to allow the icing to set.
