How to Make Lemon Drop Candy Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lemon extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in the zest of 1 large lemon and 1 ½ cups crushed lemon drop candies.
- Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place onto prepared baking sheets, flattening slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While cookies cool, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar with 2-4 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle or brush the glaze over the tops.
