How to Make Frosted Lemon Cookies
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of lemon zest until smooth.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cool, drizzle the glaze over them and sprinkle with extra lemon zest, if desired.
