How to Make Lemon Honey Drop Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in ½ cup honey, 2 teaspoons lemon extract, and 2 large eggs until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with ½ cup plain yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. While cookies are still warm, prepare the lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth.
  9. Brush the glaze evenly over the hot cookies.
  10. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons lemon zest.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
